Question

2018 GES 100 (40) 22909 Electronegativity of an atom is a measure for Select one: O a. the 'pulling power' of a bonded atom on shared electrons n b. the negative charge of the common ion of that atom O c. the number of electrons needed to obtain eight valence electrons o d. the force with which electrons in the valence shell pull on the nucleus e, the Coulomb force between ions of opposite charge Check page Return to: Module 10: Chem you are having issues in a course, email your instructor.

Explanation / Answer

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of the pulling power (attract) of a bonded atom on ahared electrons.

Electronegativity, a measure of an atom's ability to attract the shared electrons of a covalent bond to itself, means that if atoms are bonded together have the same electronegativity, the shared electrons will be equally shared.
