What is the temdency of an atom to attract electrons called?
electronegativity
What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
A material that has a high resistance to the flow of electrons is an insulator.
Enzymes that catalyze removing electrons from one substrate and adding electrons to another are called?
dehydrogenases
What is the ability of light to cause electron movement and electric current?
The photo-electric effect is the ability of light to cause the movement of electrons, which is called an electric current.
What is the ability of one material to dissolve in another?
The ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance is called SOLUBILITY.
The ability to attract electrons?
The ability to attract electrons is called electronegativity. An atom or a functional group can have this ability, and some have stronger electronegativity than others.
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound is called what?
Conductivity
The ability of atoms to attract electrons from surrounding atoms is called swarming?
wrong its electronegativity
The tendency of an atom in a compound to attract electrons?
Electronegativity is the relative tendency of atoms to attract electrons in bond. The electronegativity is affected by both the atomic number and the distance from the core of the valence electrons.
What is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a bond?
This is called electronegativity.
What is the temdency of an atom to attract electrons called?
electronegativity
What type of change occurs when the electrons of two atoms interact to form an atomic bond?
They either share electrons (both attract the electrons so the electrons end up orbiting both atoms) called covalent bonding, or one atom transfers 1 or more electrons to another atom called ionic bonding.
The ability to provide financial rewards sufficient to attract and retain financing is called?
profitability
What are the attractive forces between like substances called?
The ability of like molecule to attract is called cohesive force
Which term indicates how strongly an atom attracts the electron in a chemical bond?
Linus Pauling defined electronegativity as "the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."
Why doesn't some substances conduct electricity?
To conduct electricity you need the ability for tiny particles called electrons to move freely from one atom or molecule to another. If there are no electrons moving freely, there is no electrical charge. :) hope this helps
What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
A material that has a high resistance to the flow of electrons is an insulator.
