Question

how do electronegativity numbers (EN) correlate to the way different elements interact?

can someone pls explain this so I can understand it

Answer 1

$\huge\sf{\underbrace\pink{Answer}}$

❥︎ The higher its electronegativity, the more an element attracts electrons..

❥︎ the atom with higher electronegativity, typically a nonmetallic element, is assigned a negative oxidation number, while metallic elements are typically assigned positive oxidation numbers.
