What happened during Newton’s childhood that led to his insecurity? His father was counterfeiting money?
He was bullied at school?
An apple fell on his head?
His mother abandoned him and left him to be raised by his grandmother?

He was having a tough time as his mother abandoned him at the age of three or we can say his mother passed which led to his insecurity.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
