Electronegativity generally decreases as you move down a group in the Periodic Table. This is because atoms have more electron shells and are larger in size, making it harder for them to attract electrons. Electronegativity also tends to decrease as you move from right to left across a period due to the increase in atomic size and shielding effect.

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.

Electro negativity is lowest in the bottom of the first group. Cs and Fr have least electro negativity.


What element has the lowest electronectivity?

Francuim is thought to have the lowest electro-negativity.Linus Pauling estimated that francium had the same electro-negativity as Caesium = 0.7. The electro-negativity of caesium was later revised to 7.9 but francium is so unstable and reactive that it is not possible to obtain samples of pure francium to accurately determine its electro-negativity.


How does electronegative vary across a periodic?

The electro-negativity of elements increases as you move across a period.


Does water have a polarity pattern consistent with the electro-negativity values of O and H?

Yes, it is correct.


Is Bromine-Bromine a zero dipole moment?

Electro negativity difference is zero.So dipole moment is zero.


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.


How does the electro negativity change as you move down a group in the periodic table?

As we move down a group, electronegativity decreases.
