Electronegativity

• Increases as you move across the periodic table.

• Group 1 and 2 metals are the least electronegative elements and tend to lose electrons when forming ions.

• Nitrogen, oxygen, and halogens are the most electronegative and strongly attract electrons when in compounds.

• Decreases or stays the same moving down a group.
