-increases from left to right
- increases from top to bottom
- increases in all directions out from the element Fluorine

Answer 1

Electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom Apex 2019

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The trend that you would observe in electronegativity on the periodic table would be that increases from left to right. It is because the number of charges on the nucleus increases. That attracts the bonding pair of electrons more strongly.
