Electronegativity
The ELECTRONEGATIVITY of an
element is: the tendency for an
atom to attract electrons to itself
when it is chemically combined with
another element.
The result: a tug-of-war
between the nuclei of the
atoms.
Electronegativity
Electronegativities are given numerical
values (the most electronegative element
has the highest value; the least
electronegative element has the lowest
value)
**See Figure 6-18 p. 169 (Honors)
Most electronegative element:
Fluorine (3.98)
Least electronegative elements:
Fr (0.70), Cs (0.79)
Electronegativity
Notice the periodic trend:
As we move from left to right across a row,
electronegativity increases (metals have low
values nonmetals have high values excluding
noble gases)
As we move down a column, electronegativity
decreases.
The higher the electronegativity
value, the greater the ability to
attract electrons to itself.
Nonpolar Bonds
Example: HCl
Electronegativities:
H = 2.20
Cl = 3.16
+ H -
Cl
Polar Bonds
Example: H2O
Electronegativities:
H = 2.20
O = 3.44
Polar Bonds
Example: H2O
Electronegativities:
H = 2.20
O = 3.44
Polar Bonds
Example: H2O
Electronegativities:
H = 2.20
O = 3.44
Predicting Bond Types
Electronegativities help us predict the
type of bond:
