How electronegativity can be measured by scale?
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons toward itself. This is all done through covalent bonding.
How does a chemical compound achieve electrical neutrality?
A compound achieves electrical neutrality when it is formed by the sharing of electrons, or the transfer of electrons. In either case, the atoms of the elements become electrically stable when they undergo chemical bonding by achieving a noble gas electron configuration (also commonly known as an octet, which is not accurate for hydrogen, lithium, or beryllium). Therefore the compound produced by this chemical bonding is also electrically neutral.
What electrons are involed in bonding?
The valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding.
Does metallic bonding involve free-floating electrons?
Yes that is how metallic bonding is modeled - a sea of electrons.

What is an electronegative?
An electronegative atom is an atom that can attract a bonding pair of electrons from another atom. Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
What type of bond is formed in a covalent compound?
the only kind of bonding happens when an electronegative atom (such as aluminum) attracts the electrons of another atom and they combined and form a compound
What is an electronegative atom?
An electronegative atom is an atom that can attract a bonding pair of electrons from another atom. Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
Whats the definition of electronegativity?
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.
When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?
When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
Define electronegativity value?
Is a measure of the tendency of an atom to draw in a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most usually practiced. Fluorine is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to cesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.
What part of an atom is shared to form a compound?
All chemical bonding and compound formation occurs from the sharing of electrons.
What is a molecule made of more than one element?
A molecule made up of two or more different elements is known as a compound. The atoms of these different elements are bonded together either ionically or covalentally. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons where as covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. The electrons involved in these bonding types are from the outer most electron shell of the atom.
Does CaCl2 represent a compound that primarily shares electrons?
No, the bonding is ionic- electrons are transferred to form ions Ca2+ and Cl-
What is a covalent compound-?
Covalent compound is the bonding between non-metals that have two electrons shared between two atoms.
How is a hydrogen bond different from a covalent bond?
Hydrogen bonds are electrostatic attractions between a hydrogen atom, bonded to a more electronegative atom of one molecule AND a more electronegative atom of another molecule, but there is no sharing of electrons. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to form molecules.
