The higher the electronegativity of a metal the less likely it is to corrode. Metals that corrode easily have a low electronegativity.

Why does electronegativity decrease as you go across a period?
It doesn't! See related answer under why electronegativity increases as one goes across a period.
How is electronegativity related to atomis size?
No. Electronegativity decreases as the size of the atom increase. As you go across a row in the periodic table, you will see that electronegativity increases and the size of the atom decreases. Similarly, as you go down a column you will notice that the size of the atom increases and electronegativity decreases.
What is lead's electronegativity?
Pauling electronegativity 2.33 Sanderson electronegativity 2.29 Allred Rochow electronegativity 1.55 Mulliken-Jaffe electronegativity 2.41 (sp3 orbital) Allen electronegativity no data
What is the temdency of an atom to attract electrons called?
electronegativity
What properties tells the most about stability of a metal?
You think probable to electronegativity.
What are 2 chemical properties that most metals have?
Examples: resistance to corrosion, valence, Pauling electronegativity.
How is the electronegativity trend related to the first ionization energy level?
When electronegativity decrease the first ionization energy also decrease.
Why does electronegativity decrease as you go across a period?
It doesn't! See related answer under why electronegativity increases as one goes across a period.
More examples of chemical properties?
Examples: chemical reactivity, flammability, electronegativity, polarization of a molecule, resistance to corrosion, solubility, iodine index, pH, etc.
How the electronegativity trend related to the first ionization energy trend?
Electronegativity and first ionization energy both increase going up the Periodic Table.
How is electronegativity related to atomis size?
No. Electronegativity decreases as the size of the atom increase. As you go across a row in the periodic table, you will see that electronegativity increases and the size of the atom decreases. Similarly, as you go down a column you will notice that the size of the atom increases and electronegativity decreases.
How is electron affinity different from electrontivity?
Electron affinity is related to the formation of anions; electronegativity is related to the formation of cations.
What metals are most affected and least affected by metal corrosion What causes metal corrosion Hows is metal corrosion caused by water and how is it related to it?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction; corrosion of iron is the reaction with water in the presence of oxygen. Metals as Pt, Au, Ta, Rh, Ru, etc are less sensible to corrosion.
How is electronegativity related to ionic or covalent character of a bonds?
e2020? it's C. lol
How do you determine the electronegativity of the bonded elements?
Refer to the related link for a periodic table listing the electronegativities of the elements.
What attractive force draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds?
Electronegativity
What is lead's electronegativity?
