Question

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

Answer 1

The correct response is: **Electronegativity increases from left to right within a row of the periodic table.**

In general, electronegativity tends to decrease down a group and increase across a period from left to right.
