Front

What trend is observed in electronegativity across a period?

Back

Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right.

Front

What trend is observed in electronegativity down a group?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between atomic size and electronegativity?

Back

As atomic size increases, electronegativity typically decreases.
