True or False: Atoms with the greatest electronegativity are those with the fewest number of shells, but only when the number of valence electrons is the same. Explain.
A) False; Electronegativity increases with an increasing number of shells down any given atomic group (vertical column) .
B) True; Except for the noble gas elements, electronegativity decreases with an increasing number of shells down any one atomic group (vertical column) .
C) False; There is no direct correlation between electronegativity value and the number of shells in an atom.
D) True; except for the noble gas elements and the Lanthanide and Actinide Series elements
