Answer:

increase in going from left to right across a given period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonmetals, which are found in the right-hand region of the periodic table, have relatively large ionization energies and therefore tend to gain electrons. Ionization energies generally increase in going from left to right across a given period.

hope it is helpful:)
