Factors Affecting Electronegativity. Introduction. Is a chemical property that describes the ability of an atom (or, more rarely, a functional group) 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.
They have a higher electronegativity than metals. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons to itself.
Functional groups tend to have polar atoms in them. With that said this means that they from very strong bonds with other atoms because of electronegativity. It's hard to break those bonds without a large input of energy. That is why polar functional groups have high melting points
Electronegativity, symbol χ (the Greek letter chi), is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself and thus the tendency to form negative ions.[1] An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance that its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. The higher the associated electronegativity number, the more an element or compound attracts electrons towards it.Taken from Wikipedia entry titled Electronegativity.
A neutral aluminum atom has 3 valence electrons.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table of elements. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom or functional group to attract electrons towards itself.
The thiol group is on arginine, which is a polar amino acid, but the electronegative difference between sulfur and hydrogen is negligible. To be on the safe side and in conformation with your teacher say it is polar, but put in that electronegativity qualifier.

The functional button worked the factory very esily.
The functional group is the NH2. It is an amino functional group.
