Heya user,
Here is your answer!!
As we move from left to right, electronegativity INCREASES.
______________________
Now, lets see how it happens -
Electronegativity depends on two factors -
i) Atomic Size - The greater the size of the atom, the lesser the electronegativity, since electrons being farther away from the nucleus, experiences a lesser force of attraction.
ii) Nuclear Charge - The greater the nucleus charge, the greater the electronegativity, because increase in nuclear charge causes electron attraction with a greater force.
As one moves from left to right, nuclear charge increases and atomic size decreases.
Thus, both the factors reasonably increase electronegativity..
