Q
Eleonegativity
A
Ability for an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond
2
Q
Pauling scale
A
Helps us measure how electronegative an element is
The bigger the difference, the more ionic the compound will be
0 diff is fully covalent
3
Q
Polar bonds
A
Covalent bonds can become polar if the atoms have a difference in electronegativity
