- Electronegativity, symbolized as χ, is the measurement of the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons. An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus

- Electronegativity, symbolized as χ, is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons (or electron density) to 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.
- The higher the associated electronegativity, the more an atom or a substituent group attracts electrons.
- The opposite of electronegativity is electropositivity: a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons.
