How does electronegativity vary down the...

How does electronegativity vary down the group `17` and why? How does it vary from left to right in period? Name an element having highest electronegativity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronegativity decreases down the group due to increase in atomic size. It increases along the period from left to right due to decreases in atomic size.
Fluorine `(F)` has the highest electronegativity.
