On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.

Electronegativity increases from left to right in the periodic table.

What is Electronegativity?

  • Electronegativity is a chemical characteristic that defines an atom's or functional group's capacity to attract electrons to itself.
  • An atom's electronegativity is influenced by its atomic number as well as the distance between its valence electrons and the charged nuclei.

What is Periodic table?

A table of chemical elements arranged in atomic number order, commonly in rows, with elements having comparable atomic structures (and hence chemical characteristics) appearing in vertical columns.

Electronegativity in periodic table

Electronegativity increases as you move  from left to right across a period on the periodic table, and drops as you move down a group.

As a result, the most electronegative elements appear on the periodic table's top right, while the least electronegative elements appear on the bottom left.

Hence, the correct option is C.
