The video tutorial explains how to determine which element has a greater electronegativity value, using sodium and aluminum as examples. It introduces a quick method by locating Florine on the periodic table and comparing the proximity of the elements to it. The tutorial also discusses the trends of electronegativity across periods and groups, concluding that aluminum is more electronegative than sodium.
