Answer 2

A. As the atomic radius of an atom decreases its electronegativity will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of any element to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself by creating partial negative charge on the electronegative atom, and positive charge on the electropositive atom. As the size of any atom or the atomic radius decreases, we can see that electronegativity increases.
