chemistry - electronegatively

• what is electronegativity?


  in a molecule how attractive an atom is to the electrons involved in the bond
• group trends of electronegativity

  decreases as we go down the group on the periodic table
• trends in a period of electronegativity

  increases as we go from left to right on periodic table
• three factors that affect electronegativity

  .how many protons are in the nucleus

  .radius of the atom

  .how many shells the atom has
