Question

which pattern in electronegativity do elements in the periodic table display? (1 point) electronegativity increases from left to right within a row of the periodic table electronegativity decreases from left to right within a row of the periodic table. electronegativity is highest on the left and right sides of the periodic table, and lowest in the middle of a row electronegativity is lowest on the left and right sides of the periodic table, and highest in the middle of a row

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. As you move from left to right across a period (row) in the periodic table, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, and the atomic radius decreases. This leads to a stronger attraction for electrons, so electronegativity increases.

Answer:

Electronegativity increases from left to right within a row of the periodic table.
