For metals high electronegativity mean low reactivity; for halogens, C, O, N, S, etc. the meaning is high reactivity.

If atoms have a strong attraction of electrons what do they share with another atom exhibit?
I believe it is electronegativity
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What is the temdency of an atom to attract electrons called?
electronegativity
What can you tell about an atom that has a high electro negativity?
It is more likely to attract electrons. :)
What is the term for how much an atom wants to attract an electron?
The term which means the amount that a given atom (or radical) attracts electrons is electronegativity.

Atoms with a low electronegativity like calcium might bond with?
an atom with a high electronegativity, like fluorine
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
Ionic bonds show which characteristics that aren't seen in covalent bonds?
One atom is a metal and one is a nonmetal One atom has a high electronegativity value, while the other value is relatively low.
What is the temdency of an atom to attract electrons called?
electronegativity
Which atom has the largest electronegativity value?
which atom in a water molecule has the greatest electronegativity?
What best describes an atom with low electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract towards it the electron pair of a covalent bond. An atom with low electronegativity is poor at doing this. For instance, the electronegativity of bromine is less than that of chlorine.
What type of charge does a hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule have?
A hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule has a slight positive charge, due to the high electronegativity of the nitrogen atom.

Which statement best explains why the fluorine atom is a good candidate for forming one bond to another atom?
C. Flourine has a high 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.
