It increases across a period and decreases down a group. A good way to remember this is that fluorine is the most electronegative atom, and it's to the top right of the table.

Answer : The correct option is, It increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Explanation :

Electronegativity : It is defined as the tendency of an atom or an element in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

That means, the higher the electronegativity of atom the higher will be its ability to attract shared electrons.

Electronegativity of the elements increase across a period and decreases down a group.

As moving from left to right in a period or across a period, the electrons are added to the same shell and the nuclear charge increases that means the outer shell electrons become close to the nucleus and thus, ability of elements to attract shared pair of electrons itself increases.

As moving from top to bottom in a group or down a group, the electrons are added to the new shell that means the outer shell electrons become far to the nucleus and thus, ability of elements to attract shared pair of electrons itself decreases.

Hence, the correct option is, It increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Many classic experiments have given us indirect evidence of the nature of the atom. Which of the experiments below did not give
taurus [48]

The Rutherford experiment proved the Thomson “plum-pudding” model of the atom to be essentially correct did not give the results described and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Thomson “plum-pudding” model?</h3>

This model was proposed by J.J Thomson in which referred an atom as a sphere of positive charge, and negatively charged electrons are embedded in it to balance the total positive charge.

This model was incorrect and the Rutherford atomic model was adopted in which he described the electrons orbits about a tiny positive nucleus.

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons instead thereby making it the correct choice.
