Electronegativity increases across the period and decreases down the group
here is the concept
down the group, the following occurs
1. atomic radius increases
2. ionic radius increases
3. electro positivity increases
4. electronegativity decreases
across the period, the following occurs
1. atomic radius decreases. u know why, it is because across the period has lesser distance and so ooo electrons are more closer the nucleus.
2. electronegativity increases
3. ionic radius decreases
among the options provided, the physical property that decreases down a group in the periodic table is A. Atomic radius. As you move down a group in the periodic table, the atomic radius tends to increase due to the addition of more electron shells.
