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 is highest on the left and right sides of the periodic table.
electronegativity is lowest on the left and right sides of the periodic table, and lowest in the middle of a row.
electronegativity decreases from left to right within a row of the periodic table.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. In the periodic table, within a row (period), as the atomic number increases from left - right, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, and the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted, leading to an increase in electronegativity.

Answer:

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