Question

what is electronegativity?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a concept that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself. An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus.

Answer 2

Hey friend,

Here's your answer:

Electronegativity is the property of an atom which increases with its tendency to attract the electrons of a bond. If two bonded atoms have the same electronegativity values as each other, they share electrons equally in a covalent bond. Usually, the electrons in a chemical bond are more attracted to one atom (the more electronegative one) than to the other. This results in a polar covalent bond. If the electronegativity values are very different, the electrons aren't shared at all. One atom essentially takes the bond electrons from the other atom, forming an ionic bond.

Hope this helps.
