What general trend does electronegativity follow on the periodic table? A. it increases from top to bottom.
B. it decreases with increasing atomic number.
C. it increases with increasing atomic number.
D. it decreases from top to bottom.

On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.
