The table gives values on the Pauling scale, which has no units. Fluorine (3.98) is the most electronegative element.
Description
The graph shows how electronegativity varies down group 2:
as you go down group 2, electronegativity decreases.

Explanation
Going down group 2:
the atomic radius increases …
the outer electrons are more shielded from the attraction of the nucleus …
so electrons will be less strongly attracted to the nucleus.
You might expect electronegativity to increase going down the group because the nuclear charge increases. This does not happen, because the factors described here have a greater influence on the electronegativity.
