$Electronegativity increases across a Period..........$ $"Electronegativity increases across a Period.........."$

Explanation:

$Electronegativity increases across a Period..........$ $"Electronegativity increases across a Period.........."$ , from left to right as face the Table. And $DECREASES$ $"DECREASES"$ down a Group, a column of the Periodic Table. See this old answer.

Given that you got $N, O, P, F$ $N,O,P,F$ , clearly $F$ $F$ , a $Group 17 element$ $"Group 17 element"$ , is the most electronegative element, followed by $Group 16 oxygen$ $"Group 16 oxygen"$ , followed $Group 15 nitrogen$ $"Group 15 nitrogen"$ . And in last place of course is of course $Group 15$ $"Group 15"$ phosphorus, which comes from the next Period.

And so the order is $F, O, N, P decreasing electronegativity$ $stackrel(F,O,N,P)"decreasing electronegativity"$ .
