Electronegativity decreases as we go down the group and atomic radius increases as we go down the group.

Q. In general, the properties that decrease and increase down a group in the periodic table, respectively, are :

electronegativity and electron gain enthalpy.

electronegativity and atomic radius.

atomic radius and electronegativity.

electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity.

Electronegativity decreases as we go down the group and atomic radius increases as we go down the group.
