What does the electronegative of an atom indicate?
the tendency of the atom to pull on electrons Apex : )
In a polar bond does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom?
Yes
What does the nucleus of one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
The nucleus of one atom wants to attract or pull the electrons of a nearby atom towards itself. This attraction is due to the opposite charges of the protons in the nucleus and the electrons.
What bond both atoms exert the same pull on shared electrons?
In a non-polar covalent bond, each atom exerts the same pull on the electrons.
For each successive electron removed from an atom the ionization energy does what?
The ionization energy would increase because the nucleus is going to pull the electrons tightly which will make it hard to lose an electron from an atom.
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 causes the electrons pull on the proton in an atom?
electromagnetic force
Is it true that the unequal sharing of electrons occur when an atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
no
What is the measure of an atom's ability to pull electrons from othe atoms?
Electronegativity
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom?
If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.
In a polar bond does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom?
Yes
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
What does the nucleus of one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
The nucleus of one atom wants to attract or pull the electrons of a nearby atom towards itself. This attraction is due to the opposite charges of the protons in the nucleus and the electrons.
Why the size of oxygen gas molecules are smaller than that the nitrogen gas molecules?
The size of an atom is based mainly upon the relative numbers of protons and electrons, and then where the electrons will be located. Since oxygen has one mroe proton than nitrogen, it is more liekly that the electrons in an oxygen atom will be found closer to the nucleus since the strength of the proton pull will be greater.
What bond both atoms exert the same pull on shared electrons?
In a non-polar covalent bond, each atom exerts the same pull on the electrons.
