The relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself?
Electro-negativity
The ability 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.
The ability of atoms to attract electrons from surrounding atoms is called swarming?
wrong its electronegativity
What elements has the greatest ability to attract electrons Li Be Mg or Na?
FluorineNitrogen (N)
Is it true that electronegativity is the ability of an anion to attract another anion?
Partially, electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons, there by becoming an anion.
The relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself?
Electro-negativity
What does electro negativity mean?
Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
Is a numerical value that reflects how much an atom in a molecule attracts electron?
Linus Pauling defined electronegativity as "the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."
The ability 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.
What property of oxygen makes it share electrons unequally with hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule?
True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
Ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound?
Electronegativity
What is electronegrativity?
a measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons
How are atoms and magnets the same?
Both have an ability to lose or attract electrons.
What statements are true about eletronegativity?
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons.
What is electronegtivity?
A relative measure of an element's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.
