Electronegativity and Chemical Bonding

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed between two nonmetals?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What charge does nitrogen (N) have in an N-F bond?

Back

Partial + charge.

Front

What charge does fluorine (F) have in an N-F bond?

Back

Partial - charge.

Front

What is true for an O-O bond?

Back

Neither oxygen will have a partial charge because this is a non-polar bond.

Front

What is the relationship between bond strength and charge between bonded atoms?

Back

A smaller charge between two bonded atoms correlates to a weaker bond.

Front

Which element is the most electronegative?

Back

Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element.

Front

Do noble gases have assigned electronegativity values?

Back

No, noble gases do not have assigned electronegativity values.

Front

What is the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Front

What type of bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?

Back

Ionic bond.
