Does electronegativity increases or decreases as you move left to right across a period on the periodic table?

Electronegativity increases to the right across a period and up a group.


What trend electronegativity do you see across period on the periodic table?

The trend as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, the electronegativity increases due to the stronger attraction that the atoms obtain as the nuclear charge increases. Moving down a group, the electronegativity decreases due to the longer distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, thereby decreasing the attraction, making the atom have less of an attraction for electrons or protons.
