Answer:
Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves
Explanation:
electronegativity of an element decreases because the increased number of energy levels puts the outer electrons very far away from the pull of the nucleus. Electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table.
