Question

How to know if the atom is electronegative or not??

Answer 1

Answer:-

Electropositive nature means tendency of an atom to release an electron. If an element trends to release an electron to gain a stable electronic configuration, it is electropositive. All meals are electropositive as they release an electron forming a cation.

Electronegative nature of an element means it's tendency to attract bonded electrons toward itself, polarising the molecule.

In general you can say that the elements which have less than 4 electrons in their valence shell are electropositive while those having more than 4 are electronegative.
