How does electronegativity change from top to bottom?
Electronegativity DECREASES down a Group but INCREASES across a Period (from left to right).
Elements to the right of the Periodic Table are the most electronegative; for examples, consider the electronegativities of nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine. Electronegativity is defined as an atom's capacity to polarize electron density towards itself within an element, excluding noble gases.

Electronegativity generally decreases as you move down a group on the periodic table. This is because the atomic size increases, leading to a decrease in the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
