Electronegativity decreases right to left, and from top to bottom. If you wanna know why, it has to due with the fact that some atoms can hold more electrons closer to the nucleus ie “electron loving”. Fluoride is the most electronegative as it wants electrons. However as you start to go to the bottom, electronegativity decreases as the atomic orbitals that hold the electrons are further away from the nucleus and unable to hold electrons close.... Show More
