Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical compound. It helps predict how electrons are shared in a bond between atoms; more electronegative atoms attract electrons more strongly, resulting in uneven sharing. This property plays a key role in determining the polarity of molecules.
What else can I help you with?
An atoms relative ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond is known as its?
electronegativity. It describes how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a chemical bond, denoting its tendency to gain electrons and form negative ions. Electronegativity values are used to predict the type of bond (ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent) that will form between atoms.
Does electronegativity increases from left to right across each row of the periodic table and also increases down each column?
Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across each row of the periodic table because atoms have more protons in the nucleus, increasing their ability to attract electrons. Electronegativity also tends to decrease as you move down each column because the distance between the nucleus and outer electrons increases, reducing the nucleus' pull on electrons.
How many electrons are there in the outer shell of the most stable or inert atoms?
Noble gasses have eight electrons in their outher shell(exept Helium, Helium has two.), so the outher shell is fully saturated and have thus no electrical charche so they can't react with each other(there are some exeptions like Fluor, this is because F has the highest electronegativety of all elements.
How can electronegativety be used to distinguish between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?
When the electronegtaivity difference between the two atoms forming a chemical bond is more than 1.7 the bond is likely to be ionic, when it is very small, 0-0.5 then it is covalent, in between polar covalent. These are only rules of thumb- there are exceptions particularly in the middle area.
Does dependent mean to replace?
No, dependent means to rely on or be influenced by something else. It does not mean to replace.
