The radii of the electrons levels that can be filled by acceptance from other atoms increase down a column in the periodic table, because the electrical attraction of the nucleus of the accepting atom to a possible electron to be added is reduced by greater distance and some "screening" or repulsion by the electrons in energy levels below the valence electrons in a potential acceptor atom.

What trend in electronegativity do you see as you go down a group-family on the periodic table?

Electronegativity decrease down in a group.


What are the elecronegativity trends seen in the periodic table?

On the Periodic Table of elements, electronegativity increases as you move left to right across a period.


Which general trends first ionization energy and electronegativity values are demonstrated by group 15 elements as they are considered in order from top to bottom?

Their metallic properties increase and their atomic radii increase.This can be checked with the Reference Table S with the atomic radii and metallic properties. Easy, right?


What is the relationship between the 3d elements on the periodic table and their electronegativity values?

The relationship between the 3D elements on the periodic table and their electronegativity values is that as you move across a period from left to right, the electronegativity values generally increase. This means that elements on the right side of the periodic table tend to attract electrons more strongly than elements on the left side. Additionally, as you move down a group, the electronegativity values generally decrease.


Why do electronegaativity decrease as you move down a group?

Most often yes, if you're unsure, look on the periodic table, the elements electronegativity is usually located labeled, i.e electronegativity of F (the most electronegative element) is 4.0


What trend do you see in the relative electronegativity values of elements within a group?

In a group, electronegativity tends to decrease as you move down the periodic table. This is due to the increase in atomic size and shielding effect, which reduce the attraction of the nucleus for electrons in outer shells.


What vertical columns in the periodic table are called?

Groups. Elements in the same group have similar electronegativity properties.


Compared with Group 2A elements Group 6A elements have?

Group 6A elements have a higher electronegativity and a greater tendency to gain electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. In contrast, Group 2A elements have a lower electronegativity and typically lose electrons to form cations.


What is the trend in the electronegative of the elements from-left to right and from top to bottom?

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom down a group. This is because as you move across a period, the nuclear charge increases, attracting electrons more strongly. Down a group, the atomic size increases which leads to a decrease in electronegativity.


Which atoms have the highest electronegativity on the periodic table?

Group 17 elements have the highest electronegativity out of which fluorine has the highest electronegativity.


Why the elements of group 14 are most electronegative elemenets?

There is no Group 14. The elements of the group 7A are the most electronegative. Basically, electronegativity is the ability to attract electrons. Group 7A elements, or halogens, need just one more electron to reach stability, and are very reactive. So, they can easily accept that electron. In other words, their ability to attract electrons is the highest.


What is electron affinity . write down its trend in periods and group?

The electronegativity increase in a period from left to right; in a group decrease by descending.
