Question

Which best describes the trends in electronegativity on the periodic table?

Answer 1

Electronegativity is higher on the right side of the periodic table, such as the noble gasses. There electronegativity is around 3.0 and 4.0 while the left side has electronegativity ranging from .7 to 1.0

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Electronegativity increases up and to the right

Explanation:

Electronegativity, logo χ, is a chemical property that explains the trend of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.As you move from left to right across the periodic table, electronegativity increases, and as you move down the table electronegativity decreases.
