Question

what trend is observed in electronegativity as you move down group 1 in the periodic table? decreases increases stays the same clear all

Explanation:

As you move down group 1 in the periodic table, the atomic radius increases, and the out - ermost electrons are farther from the nucleus and more shielded. This results in a decreased ability to attract electrons, so electronegativity decreases.

Answer:

Decreases
