• B)True; Except for the noble gas elements, electronegativity decreases with an increasing number of shells down any one atomic group (vertical column).
• C)False; There is no direct correlation between electronegativity value and the number of shells in an atom.
• D)True; except for the noble gas elements and the Lanthanide and Actinide Series elements
