From left to right and into the upper corner of the periodic table electronegativity increases. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, but the elements in group 18 generally have no electronegativity at all.
Electronegativity increases across (left to right) the periodic table and decreases on going down.
Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom within a group on the periodic table. This trend is due to the increasing nuclear charge across a period and the increasing distance between the nucleus and valence electrons down a group.
No, period 1 elements are not more electronegative than period 2 elements. Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right, so elements in period 2 are generally more electronegative than elements in period 1.
Going Up
Electronegativity DECREASES going down a group.
From left to right and into the upper corner of the periodic table electronegativity increases. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, but the elements in group 18 generally have no electronegativity at all.
Electronegativity generally decreases as you go down a group on the periodic table due to the increasing distance between the nucleus and valence electrons, reducing the attractive force. Across a period, electronegativity generally increases due to the increasing nuclear charge, pulling valence electrons closer and increasing their attraction.
Electronegativity increases across (left to right) the periodic table and decreases on going down.
Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge, making it harder for atoms to release electrons. It tends to decrease down a group as the atomic size increases, leading to weaker attraction for valence electrons.
Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom within a group on the periodic table. This trend is due to the increasing nuclear charge across a period and the increasing distance between the nucleus and valence electrons down a group.
As you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, atomic electronegativity generally increases, since elements are gaining more protons in the nucleus, which enhances their ability to attract electrons. In contrast, as you move down a group in the periodic table, atomic electronegativity generally decreases, as the size of the atoms increases and the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus, reducing the attraction for electrons.
going down a group, electronegativity decreases going across a period, electronegativity increases
No, period 1 elements are not more electronegative than period 2 elements. Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right, so elements in period 2 are generally more electronegative than elements in period 1.
Going Up
Electronegativity and first ionization energy both increase going up the Periodic Table.
Electronegativity DECREASES going down a group.
Yes electronegativity changes along a period. It increases along a period.
