A

Electronegativity

B

Atomic radius

C

Ionization energy

D

Metallic character

E

Electron affinity

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Electronegativity is how strongly an atom pulls in electrons. Other options are incorrect because Many think the distance between the nucleus and the outer electrons grows when moving right, but it actually shrinks; Some believe metallic character becomes stronger across a period, but the opposite happens.
