Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are a result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. The more electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and the less electronegative atom acquires partial positive charge while showing charge distribution.

- Show how each chemical change obeys the octet rule. (a) Hydrogen forms H2 (hydride ion)arrow_forwardWhich of the following has the lowest electronegativity? (a)Sodium (Na) (b)Carbon (C) (c) All of these have the exact same electronegativity. (d)Hydrogen (H) (e)Sulfur (S)arrow_forward18.) Choose all the statements that are correct. (1) Like atomic size, electronegativity decreases going across a period and increases going down a group. (2) The second most electronegative element is chlorine. (3) Electronegativity is directly proportional to atomic number. (4) Like ionization energy, electronegativity increases going across a period and decreases going down a group. (5) Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons and form a negative ion. (6) Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons go itself. (7) Electronegativity was first proposed by Linus Pauling.
