Explanation:
Electronegativity is the property of an atom that attracts the shared pair of an electron to itself. There is a trend in the periodic table.
While moving down in a group, the electronegativity decreases. This is due to the reason that as we move down the number of shells added and so the electron become very far from the pull of the nucleus.
As we move across a period the electronegativity increases. This is because of the no. of charge on the nucleus increase.
