Question

Define electronegativity.

A neutral atom has high electronegativity.

Describe what happens to this atom during ionic bond formation.

Answer 1

I may be able to look at my notes from my last test. We literally just went over this and I made a 98! I may even be able to send you my old PowerPoints.

Answer 2

Hmmm ok

Answer 3

I already know that Electronegativity measures the tendency of an atom to attract electrons; fluorine is the most electronegative. So electronegativity can decrease down groups and can increase across periods.

Answer 4

Answer 5

This is what i came up with so far for the answer what do you think about it?
Electronegativity measures the tendency of an atom to attract electrons; fluorine is the most electronegative. So electronegativity can decrease down groups, and can also increase across periods. Neutral atoms do contain the same number of protons and electrons, so a neutral atom with a high electronegativity can be transformed into a positive charged ion by just removing or transferring one or even more electrons.

Answer 6

That is pretty much accurate, so that would be correct

Answer 7

Ok thank you so much!
