Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The upper right-side of the periodic table contains the elements with the highest electronegativity values because as you move from left to right in the periodic table, the number of protons in the nucleus increases along with the number of electrons in the valence shell. This leads to an increase in electronegativity. Additionally, elements in the upper right-side of the periodic table tend to have a greater attraction for electrons due to their smaller atomic radii.
