NEET Chemistry Periodic Trends MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about periodic trends is correct?
Electronegativity increases across a period, leading to increased non-metallic character.
Electronegativity decreases down a group, leading to increased non-metallic character.
Elements with high electronegativity are typically metals.
Metallic properties increase across a period from left to right.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electronegativity increases across a period, which is associated with increased non-metallic properties and a decrease in metallic properties. This is highlighted in the context where electronegativity is inversely related to metallic properties.
