ELECTRONEGATIVITY DECREASES DOWN THE GROUP.
The alkali metal group (GROUP 1) involve the following elements:
- Lithium
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Rubidium
- Cesium
- Francium
Now, as we go down from top to bottom in the group 1 of the modern periodic table , there is increase in atomic radii. So, the valence electeon tends to be located far away from the nuclei; this results in lesser tendency of nuclei of the elements to pull electrons towards itself.
Hence , the electronegativity of the elements decrease as we go down from Lithium to Francium.
Hope It Helps.
