Electronegativity increases across the second and third periods or rows of the Periodic Table until the noble gases are reached; then electronegativity drops substantially. There is little change if any in electronegativity in the part of the higher numbered periods that represents transition metals, but the increase in electronegativity resumes in column 13 of these periods.

What happens to the atomic number as you go from left to right across the periodic table and why does this happen?

The atomic number increases from left to right across the periodic table because the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom increases. This results in a higher positive charge, leading to a stronger attraction to electrons and a closer binding of electrons to the nucleus.
