When a very electronegative element like oxygen is bonded to hydrogen is?
the hydrogen atom becomes partially positive, the electronegative atom becomes partially negative
Why carbon is less electronegative than oxygen?
fluorine is the most electronegative atom . therefore atoms closer to fluorine will be more electronegative.
Which is the more electronegative atom in bond B-F?
Fluorine is more electronegative. It has the highest electro negativity.
What atom accepts electrons at the of the electron transport chain?
The very electronegative oxygen atom.
What type of bond forms when the shared electrons spend more time around the more electronegative atom and less time around the less electronegative atom?
A polar covalent bond.
When will an atom be electronegative?
An electronegative atom gain electrons.
What is an electronegative?
An electronegative atom is an atom that can attract a bonding pair of electrons from another atom. Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
When drawing a Lewis structure the central atom is generally what type of atom when dealing with electronegative?
D. least electronegative atom
When a very electronegative element like oxygen is bonded to hydrogen is?
the hydrogen atom becomes partially positive, the electronegative atom becomes partially negative
What does the electronegative of an atom indicate?
the tendency of the atom to pull on electrons Apex : )
Why carbon is less electronegative than oxygen?
fluorine is the most electronegative atom . therefore atoms closer to fluorine will be more electronegative.
What is an atom with too few Electrons?
Electronegative.
When hydrogen is attached to the more highly electronegative oxygen atom in a water molecule?
When hydrogen is attached to a more electronegative element, the electronegative atom becomes partially negative and the hydrogen atom becomes partially positive
Which is the more electronegative atom in bond B-F?
Fluorine is more electronegative. It has the highest electro negativity.
Define hydrogen bond?
forms when a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom
What atom accepts electrons at the of the electron transport chain?
The very electronegative oxygen atom.
What type of bond forms when the shared electrons spend more time around the more electronegative atom and less time around the less electronegative atom?
A polar covalent bond.
