Alkali metals (group 1: hydrogen (h, lithium (li, sodium (na, potassium (k, rubidium (rb, cesium (cs, francium (fr) Alkaline earth metals (group 2: beryllium (be, magnesium (mg, calcium (ca, strontium (sr, barium (ba, radium (ra) Chalcogens (group 16: oxygen (o, sulfur (s, selenium (se, tellurium (te, polonium (po) Effective nuclear charge increases going across a period. Rather, the element would share an electron with another element to complete a shell. Electronegativity is the influence an atom exerts over its electrons when the atom is engaged in a bond. The reason why electronegativity increases across a period is because the effective nuclear charge increases across the period as well. The greater the number of shells (as well as the greater the positive charge), the closer the electrons will be to the nucleus as the shells increase in number. By going down a group, electronegativity and effective nuclear charge decreases.
