Question

2 the trend for electronegativity as you travel down the column is decreasing. this is because the elements are adding energy levels. a false b true

Explanation:

As you move down a group (column) in the periodic table, the number of energy levels increases. The outermost electrons are farther from the nucleus and are shielded by the inner - shell electrons. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electrons decreases, leading to a decrease in electronegativity.

Answer:

B. True
