What is electronegativity?
Think about attraction in terms of electrons.
Does electronegativity increase or decrease across a period?
Consider how nuclear charge affects attraction.
What is electronegativity?
Focus on attraction in chemical contexts.
How does electronegativity change across a period?
Consider the periodic table layout.
You have two elements, A (electronegativity of 1.0) and B (electronegativity of 3.0). What type of bond would you expect to form between these two elements?
Consider the general rule for ionic bonding: typically, a difference greater than 1.7 indicates ionic bonding.
Consider a compound made up of nitrogen and chlorine. Determine the type of bond formed and explain your reasoning based on their electronegativities.
Think about the electronegativity values for both elements and compare them.
