what are the features of electronegativity?
Answers
Explanation:
Features of electronegativity are as follows-
1. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract a covalent bond to the shared pair of electron towards itself.
2. It is known as an energetic term.
3. Electronegativity decreases down the group.
4. On moving from left to right in the period electronegativity increases.
5. It do not have any unit.
6. It is inversely proportional to the atomic size.
7. Generally we see more electronegativity of the small atoms than large atoms.
8. It is not dependable on stable electronic configuration that's why electronegativity increases in the period always.
Answer:
Features of electronegativity are:-
1)Electronegativity is the attraction of an atom for bonding electrons in molecules compared to that of other atoms.
2)Large electronegativity values indicate a stronger attraction for electrons than small electronegativity values
