Q

Does Electronegativity attract electrons

A

The electronegativity (EN) of an atom is a measure of an atom’s ability to attract
electrons within a chemical bond.

Q

Process of the increasing Electronegativity

A

you go across a period, the electronegativity increases The number of protons (which attract the electrons) in the nucleus increases. At the same time, the number of filled, inner electron energy levels (which shield the protons from the valence electrons) remains the same Thus the electrons are pulled more tightly to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic size An atom with a higher electronegativity will attract a bonding pair of electrons more strongly because the bonding pair will be pulled closer to its nucleus

Q

The Process decreased for electro negativity

A

II.As you go down each group in the periodic table, the electronegativity decreases▪Valence electrons are less strongly attracted to the nucleus because the number of filled electron energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons increases. ▪In a compound, increasing energy levels between valence electrons and the

Q

Ionic compound and covalent compound

A

Ionic compounds are comprised of a metal and a non-metal that transfer an electron, whereas a covalent compound contains atoms that share their electrons.

As a matter of fact, all bonds share electrons, however that sharing can be equal unequal
