Question

What is the electronegativity? How does the size of an atom influence the electronegativity?

Answer 1

electronegativity is the tendency of the atom to attract electrons to itself when combined in a compound. electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.the smaller the size of the atom more is electronegativity

Answer 2

Explanation:

electronegativity electronegativity is the relative electron attracting tendency of an atom for shared electron bear in a covalent bond with other atom it increase along a period from left to right and decrease on moving down the group
