Explain about periodic variation of electronegativity across a period.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As we move from left to right in a period, electronegativity increases. This is due to the following reasons:
(a) Nuclear charge increases in a period
(b) Atomic size decrease in a period.
Halogens have the highest value of electronegativity in their respective periods.
