Compare electronegativity of phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen ?
Answers
Electronegativity is a chemical property which describes how well an atom can attract an electron to itself. Values for electronegativity run from 0 to 4. Electronegativity is used to predict whether a bond between atoms will be ionic or covalent. It can also be used to predict if the resulting molecule will be polar or nonpolar. This table is a list of electronegativity values of the elements.
