Question
Describe the variation in the electronegativity of group 13 elements.
✓
Answer
- In group 13, on moving down the group, the electronegativity decreases from B to Al.
- However, there is a marginal increase in the electronegativity from Al to Tl.
- This trend is a result of the irregularities observed in atomic size of elements.
