Question
term 4) electronegativity left to right across a period your answer type the answer show hint
As we move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, the nuclear charge (number of protons) increases while the number of electron shells remains the same. This leads to a stronger attraction of the nucleus for the electrons in the outermost shell. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. With a stronger nuclear pull, atoms can attract electrons more effectively.
