Question

19(iv) Identify the reason for the gradual change in electronegativity in halogens down the group.
a) Electronegativity increases down the group due to decrease in atomic size.
b) Electronegativity decreases down the group due to decrease in tendency to lose
electrons.
c) Electronegativity decreases down the group due to increase in atomic radius/tendency
to gain electron decreases.
d) Electronegativity increases down the group due to increase in forces of attraction
between nucleus and valence electrons.​
