Question
How does electronegativity and non - metallic character related to each other?

Answer

Electronegativity is directly related to the non - metallic character of elements.
Therefore, the rise in electronegativities across the period is followed by an increase in non - metallic properties of elements. Consequently, the decrease in electronegativities down the group is accompanied by an decrease in non - metallic properties of elements.
