The most electronegativie element is on the top right of the Periodic Table and the least electronegative element is on the bottom left.
- Increases from left to right across a period because of increase in nuclear charge, resulting in an increased attraction between the nucleus and the bond electrons.
- Electronegativity decreases down a group. The bond electrons are furthest from the nucleas and so there is reduced attraction.
- Fluorine has the highest value of 4.0.
- Ceasium has the lowest value of 0.7.
