Answer:
Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons.
The concept of electronegativity was introduced by Linus Pauling in 1932; on the Pauling scale, fluorine is assigned an electronegativity of 3.98, and the other elements are scaled relative to that value. Other electronegativity scales include the Mulliken scale, proposed by Robert S. Mulliken in 1934, in which the first ionization energy and electron affinity are averaged together, and the Allred-Rochow scale, which measures the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus of an atom and its valence electrons.
