Electronegativity

Electronegativity

1. when you go to the right in the periodic table, elements will increase in electronegativity

2. is the decreasing of atomic radial across a period between metal and nonmetals.

3. a neutral atom will always be more electronegative than its counterpart.

4. Metals tend to be electropositive while nonmetals tend to be electronegative. Noble gases tend to be electroneutral.
