Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
On moving left to right in a period, tendency of an atom to attract the shared electron pair towards itself increases due to increasing Z eff . So, electronegativity of elements increase on moving from left to right in a period.
On moving top to bottom in a group, size increases due to addition of extra shells. So, attraction of nucleus outermost electron decreases. So, ionisation enthalpy decrease in a group from top to bottom.
