Question

select the correct answer(s) from the list(s). (1 point) electronegativity tends to as you move down a group and as you move across a period. (1 point) a scientific nation for natural occurrences that is generally accepted as true after

Explanation:

To determine the trend of electronegativity:

1. When moving down a group in the periodic table, the atomic radius increases, and the ability of an atom to attract electrons (electronegativity) decreases. So the first blank should be "decrease".
2. When moving across a period (from left to right), the atomic radius decreases, and the nuclear charge increases, so the electronegativity increases. So the second blank should be "increase".

Answer:

First dropdown: decrease
Second dropdown: increase
