Re: Periodic Table Trend
Electronegativity increases as you go diagonally up and to the right on the periodic table!

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Electronegativity increases going right on the periodic table because the number of protons in the nucleus increases, the electronegativity or attraction will increase. The nucleus brings in the electrons closer together because of the increase in attraction. Electronegativity will then decrease going down the periodic table because of the increased distance between the valence electrons and the nucleus, and the nucleus will not be able to pull those electrons closer.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
When we learned about periodic table trends in high school chemistry, my teacher had us draw arrows to represent the trends in our notes. If you're a visual learner, it can be very helpful!
Here's an example of this. I find it useful to refer to.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
As you go in the top right direction, the electronegativity and electron affinity of the elements increase up until the noble gases. This means that fluorine has the greatest electronegativity out of all elements! As a result, oxygen and chlorine have slightly less electronegativity than fluorine. The reason for why elements in the top right have greater electronegativity is because they have a greater positive charge in the nucleus compared to other elements in the left of their row. Additionally, smaller elements in a group have valence electrons in lower principal levels, contributing to a greater electronegativity.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
The trends for ionization energy and electronegativity are the same: they increase in electronegativity/ionization energy as you go across a row and up a column. Flourine is the most electronegative element.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
So the trend for ionization energy basically corresponds to the atomic radius of the element. The bigger the atomic radius, the lower the ionization energy. The atomic radii decrease along a period and increase down a group. SO we can say the ionization energy increases down a period and decreases down a group. In terms of electronegativity or electron affinity, I may be wrong but I think that it has to do with the properties of the elements and where they are placed specifically. Noble gases don't want electrons, so they require energy to add electrons and have a lower electronegativity while elements before them have a high electronegativity since they want electrons to turn into noble gases, and release energy.

Fluorine is the most electronegative element. This is because for ionization energy, or the energy to remove an electron, the elements with smaller atomic radiuses are held together tighter by a greater nuclear charge. Thus that energy to remove must be higher than an element with one electron in the valence shell - which is dying to get rid of that electron.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
The way I think of it is that atomic radius and electronegativity have an inverse relationship. As the atomic radius increases, the electrons stray further away from the nucleus, meaning the protons have less of a pull on them and they are easier to remove. In the same sense, the elements with small atomic radii hold their electrons closely to the nucleus, allowing the protons to have more of a hold and making it more difficult to remove. The radius decreases and the electronegativity increases going diagonally up and to the right. If you remember one, you should be able to figure out the behavior of the other.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
The trend for electronegativity and ionization energy are virtually identical and this makes sense because what they relate with is similar: the behavior of electrons. Ionization energy focuses on how much energy it takes to give up an electron. Electronegativity also relates to electrons, since it focuses on the ability of an atom to attract electrons. If an atom readily attracts electrons, then it must be able to hold on to its electrons. Therefore, atoms that have a high ionization energy (an atom that requires a lot of energy to lose an electron since their electrons are tightly held) also have a high electronegativity. Conversely, those with a low ionization energy have low electronegativity.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
The trend for electronegativity and ionization energy generally decreases down a group and increases across the periodic table from left to right. Ionization energy is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron and as you go down a group the shells increase so the electrons are further from the nucleus causing them to be easily removed (lower ionization energy). Also, as you move across a period the nuclear charge increases so the electrons have a tighter pull to the nucleus causing you to need more energy to remove the electron. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself and as you go down a group as said before the electrons are further from the nucleus causing the attraction to decrease (making the atom have less of an attraction for electrons). As you move across a period the nuclear charge increases causing it to have higher attraction for electrons (be more electronegative). Fluorine is your most electronegative element and Cesium is your least electronegative element.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Both electronegativity and ionization energy increase as you go left to right and bottom to up. This is why Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element

They both follow the same trend which is that if you go diagonally across the periodic table then both will increase.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Ionization energy and electronegativity both decrease down a group and increase across a period. As you move to the right the electrostatic attraction increase because the elements have more protons. As you move downwards the electrostatic attraction decreases as the the electrons move farther and farther from the nucleus with the addition of orbitals

What helps me remember this is to remember that fluorine is the smallest and most electronegative atom, if you look at the periodic table you will see that it is at the very top right corner of the periodic table, so as atoms are closer to this element..then they are more electronegative!

Re: Periodic Table Trend
It increases from left to right and from down to up. In other words, electro negativity increases as you approached to the top right corner of the periodic table.
Re: Periodic Table Trend
As there is an increases in electronegativity you would move up diagonally and to the right on the periodic table.
Hope this helps!

simple but helpful explanation. Thank you.
Re: Periodic Table Trend
Since Fluorine has the highest electronegativity, I try to remember the trend as the closer you get to Fluorine (top & right) the more electronegative.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Hi! On the periodic table, electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom. For ionization energy, it generally decreases from top to bottom and increases from left to right.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Electronegativity increases from the lower left side of the table to the top right and the ionization energy increases as you go from the bottom left to top right.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
For ionization energy trend, it increases left to right because more energy is needed to remove the electrons from their valence shells. Like in group 1 and 2, they have low ionization energy because they give their electrons, often becoming cation. And in group 7, they have high ionization energy because they only need one more electron to form an octet.
Electronegativity is the attraction of another electron. It follows the same trend of ionization energy(increases left to right) for similar reasons. An atom wants to complete its octet so groups 1 and 2 have low ionization energies because they don't want more electrons, they are more willing to give them away to complete their octet. While group 7 has a higher ionization because it wants to complete its octet.
I hope this helps!

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Ionization energy decreases down a group and increases across a period. Because electronegativity is calculated using ionization energy, electronegativity follows the same periodic trend.

Re: Periodic Table Trend
Ionization energy increases as you go the right because the attraction of the electrons to the nucleus increases because the nucleus is more massive.
