    Electronegativity in group 1 decreases as we go from Lithium to Francium.

    Explanation:

    Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract an electron pair towards itself.

    In a group generally this tendency decreases from top to bottom as the size of the atom increases and hence the positive nucleus get far from the outer orbital.

    In the same way group 1 elements i. e. from Lithium to Francium electronegativity decreases.
