What trend is observed in electronegativity values as you move from Si to Pb within group 14?
Options
- AElectronegativity increases
- BElectronegativity decreases
- CElectronegativity remains constant
- DElectronegativity fluctuates unpredictably
Correct answer
C. Electronegativity remains constant
Step-by-step solution
The electronegativity values for elements from Si to Pb are almost the same,indicating that they remain constant within this group.
