What happens to the atomic radius as you go across a period?

It decreases as you move from left to right because there is an increase in positive charge in the nucleus as you go from left-to-right. Each time you go over an element it has one more electron and proton added to the principal energy level, so the nucleus pull increases and it holds the valence electron in tighter.

What are the period and group trends in electronegativites?

The trends from left to right in a period increase (nuclear charge), and moving down a group decreases (shielding).
