How does the electronegativity changes as we move from left to right across a period ?

Answer»

Solution :a] As we MOVE from left to RIGHT along a period, ELECTRONEGATIVE character increases. This is because of increase in the number of protons which increases the positive charge on the nucleus. THUS, the attractive force between the nucleus and valence electrons increases thereby increasing the tendency of atoms to gain electrons. This increases electronegativity
