I Going across a Period fr left to right, the atomic size decrease,nuclear charge increase . hence , the attraction for electrons and electronegativity increase.

Going down a Group,atomic size increase , effective nuclear charge decrease . Hence, attraction for electrons and electronegativity decrease.
