The higher the electronegativity of a metal the less likely it is to corrode. Metals that corrode easily have a low electronegativity.

Is the effective nuclear charge directly related to electronegativity?

Yes, the effective nuclear charge is directly related to electronegativity. Electronegativity increases as the effective nuclear charge on an atom increases.


How is the electronegativity trend related to the first ionization energy level?

When electronegativity decrease the first ionization energy also decrease.


How the electronegativity trend related to the first ionization energy trend?

Electronegativity and first ionization energy both increase going up the Periodic Table.


How is electron affinity different from electrontivity?

Electron affinity is related to the formation of anions; electronegativity is related to the formation of cations.

Examples: chemical reactivity, flammability, electronegativity, polarization of a molecule, resistance to corrosion, solubility, iodine index, pH, etc.


Does the color of an element determine the atom's electronegativity?

No, the color of an element does not determine its electronegativity. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond, which is determined by the atom's size, nuclear charge, and electron configuration. Color is a property of an element when it is in a specific form or compound and is not directly related to electronegativity.


How do you determine the electronegativity of the bonded elements?

What are 2 chemical properties that most metals have?

Examples: resistance to corrosion, valence, Pauling electronegativity.


How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms, the more polar the covalent bond will be. In nonpolar covalent bonds, atoms have similar electronegativities, resulting in equal sharing of electrons.


Why does electronegativity decrease as you go across a period?

Electronegativity decreases across a period because the effective nuclear charge increases. This causes the attraction between the electrons and the nucleus to become stronger, making it harder for atoms to attract additional electrons and thus reducing electronegativity.
