Question

Generally speaking, which group would have the lowest electronegativity values in a period?

group, 1
group, 3
group, 14
group, 17

Answer 1

in general group 1 has the lowest value of E. N

Answer 2

Electronegativity is a periodic property of elements.

In periodic table electronegativity increases from left to the right and from bottom to the upward direction.

As here groups are in the consideration, group 1 is in the most left of the periodic table and gradually comes group 3, group 14 and group 17.

Thus group 1 have the lowest electronegativity values and group 17 have the highest among these 4 groups.
