Gina Adams · Answer 1

As you go from left to right on a period electronegativiy values increase, so lithium would have the lowest while nitrogen the highest.

Karlie · Answer 2

The trend in electronegativity is it is increasing from left to right in the periodic table so, the element with the lowest electronegativity is Lithium.
