What does the electronegative of an atom indicate?
the tendency of the atom to pull on electrons Apex : )
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
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?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
Does unequal sharing of electrons occur when one atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
Yes, unequal sharing of electrons occurs when one atom has a greater electronegativity, resulting in a polar covalent bond. The atom with the higher electronegativity pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, creating partial charges.
The relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself?
Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. It is a measure of the atom's ability to pull electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. The higher the electronegativity value of an atom, the more strongly it attracts electrons.

electronegativity
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
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?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
The tendency of an atom in a compound to attract electrons?
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a compound to attract electrons towards itself. It is a measure of an atom's ability to form bonds with other atoms by attracting shared electrons. Electronegativity values range from 0 to 4. Electronegativity increases from left to right across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic table.
How do some atoms in covalent bonds become slightly negative or slightly positive?
In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. If one atom is more electronegative, it can pull the shared electrons closer to itself, giving it a slightly negative charge, while the other atom, with less electronegativity, can become slightly positive as the electrons are closer to the more electronegative atom. This creates a dipole moment in the molecule.
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound is called what?
Conductivity
