Question

Which of the following periodic properties increases as you move from left to right across the periodic table?

A.
nuclear charge
B.
All of these answer choices are correct.
C.
electron affinity
D.
electronegativity

Answer 1

Answer: B. electronegativity

Explanation: Electronegativity generally increases as you move of the periodic table and as you move to the right. All the other answers listed decrease as you move up a column of the periodic table.

Answer 2

the answer choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

as we move from left to right , the atomic size decreases due to higher number of protons in the nucleus, which are able to attract the electrons more strongly. and so the electronegativity and electron affinity increases for the same reason. the nuclear charge increase due to more protons , and without an increase in inner electrons , there is less shielding effect. so effective nuclear charge increases.
