Why does electro negativity decrease while going down the periodic table?

Down the group the size of atom increases. Hence the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electrons of the next atom decreases. Or in other words, the electronegativity decreases down the group.

What elements has the highest electronagativity?
The element with the highest electro negativity is Fluorine. The general trend on the periodic table for electro negativity is that as you go across periods (horizontally) the electro negativity increases while going down groups (vertically) the electro negativity decreases.
How does the first ionization energy change going down and across the periodic table?
In a group the first ionization energy decrease going down.In a period the first ionization energy increase from left to right.
What is the relationship between a period and a group in the periodic table?
A period are the rows going across on a periodic table, a group is the rows going up and down. there is no relation in them.
Is the periodic table good to learn about?
if you are going to be a scientist or are going to study physical science, then it would be beneficial for you to learn about the periodic table. it will especially be beneficial for you to memorize it if you're going to high school, because you need to memorize it for your freshmen year.
What trend does the ionization energy follow in the periodic table?
It decreases when going down a group.

What trend does electro negativity follow going down the periodic table?
Electronegativity decreases down the group. Metallic character increases.
When you move across the periodic table from left to right what happens to the number of protons contained by each element?
the numbers increase (going right) and decrease (going left)
How does the first ionization energy change going down and across the periodic table?
In a group the first ionization energy decrease going down.In a period the first ionization energy increase from left to right.

What group is iron in on the periodic table?
Iron is Period 4 going horozontal on the periodic table.
How does electronegative change going down and across the periodic table?
Electronegativity increases across (left to right) the periodic table and decreases on going down.
What does percent decrease mean?
The amount of decrease from a larger number to a smaller number expressed as a percentage of the larger number. Going from 10 to 7 is a 30% decrease.
