Electronegativity is tendency of an atom to attract shared pair of electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Since it is only relative electron tendency, it has no specific units.
Electronegativity is elated to:
(a) Size of an atom.
(b) Effective nuclear charge
Atom with small size and high nuclear charge has high electronegativity due to the strong pull exerted on shared electrons by the nucleus. For example, fluorine is highly electronegative element with electro negativity value 3.92 due to small size and high effective nuclear charge. Atom with greater size and less nuclear charge has low electronegativity as its nucleus does not exert a stong attractive force on shared electrons. For example, Caesium is least electronegative element with electronegativity value 0.7 due to its big sizes and less effetive nuclear charge.
The ability of an atom to attract electrons. The most electronegative elements are in the upper right hand corner of the Periodic Table, most notably fluorine.
Electronegativity is the potential for an atom to gain an electron.
Electronegativity is a property of an atom and it describes the ability of an atom to attract electrons. The higher the electronegativity the stronger the atom attracts electrons.
(chemistry) the tendency of an atom or radical to attract electrons in the formation of an ionic bond
the force of an atom to attract it's valance electrons.
The tendacy of an atom or radical to attract electrons in the formation of an ionic bond
The electronegativity is the relative force of attraction of an atom towards the shared pair of electrons. (with reference to F=4)
Nitrogen has the highest electronegativity.
Extinct is the scientific term meaning no longer in existence.
Phenyl salicylate has a covalent electronegativity. This means that the chemical bonds in the substanceÊshare electrons among the different atoms.Ê
Retropharyngeal is the medical term meaning behind the pharynx, or throat.
It has carbon and oxygen atoms in combination
The term which means the amount that a given atom (or radical) attracts electrons is electronegativity.
The electronegativity of sodium is 0,93.The electronegativity of uranium is 1,38.A lower electronegativity is the meaning of more chemical reactivity.
Electronegativity. The strongest element is F.
Electronegativity
Linus Pauling defined electronegativity as "the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."
If there is a slight electronegativity difference, the bond is a nonpolar covalent bond. If there is a large electronegativity difference, it is an ionic bond. If the difference is somewhere between, it is a polar covalent bond.
For metals high electronegativity mean low reactivity; for halogens, C, O, N, S, etc. the meaning is high reactivity.
No, it is covalent as it contains two atoms of the same element, meaning no difference in electronegativity.
The meaning is a significant difference of electronegativity.
