Question

What do you mean by non metallic character or electronegative character

Answer 1

Hi.
The properties of the non metals by which they can form the anions by the loss of electrons is called as non metallic characters. Non metallic character is also known as an electronegative charcter. Thus, non metals are electronegative.

ELECTRONEGATIVITY

• Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond.
• Non-metals are more Electronegative.
• Most electronegative elements in the periodic table are :- Fluorine > Oxygen > Nitrogen ≥ Chlorine
• It increases from moving left to right in a period due to increase in effective nuclear charge.
• It decreases as we move from top to bottom as size of atom increases.

ELECTROPOSITIVITY

• Electropositivity is the ability of an atom to withdraw a shared pair of electrons in its combined state.
• Metals are more Electropositive.
• Caesium is most electropositive metal.
• It increases down the group.
• It decreases along the period.
• Example :- Sodium(Na) is a electropositive element & able react with zinc oxide to reduce it metallic zinc, while itself being oxidized to the oxide.
