Electronegavity increases with the s-character of the hybrid orbital used for making covalent bond.
Explanation:It may be explained by taking a simple example of three simplest hydrocarbons
Ethane C2H6→where C uses-sp3hybrid orbital with 25% sCharacterEthene C2H4→where C uses-sp2hybrid orbital with 33.33% sCharacterEthyne C2H2→where C uses-sphybrid orbital with 50% sCharacter
