M4 Flashcards
general term to describe any atom that is connected by bond
molecule
molecule that is made of atoms from different elements
compound
relationship of molecule and compound
all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds
if the electronegativity is low
electrons transfer to others
if electronegativity is high
atom gain/attract electrons
measure of the ability of an atom to attract bonding pairs of electrons
electronegativity (EN) (X)
developed numerical scale of electrons
Linus Pauling
what happen to electronegativity from left to right of periodic table
increases
what happen to electronegativity from top to bottom
decreases
energy released when an electron is incorporated into an atom
electron affinity
tendency of individual atom to attract electrons
electronegativity
observe the formation of very 1st noble gas compound
Neil bartlett
very 1st noble gas compound
xenon tetrafluorine (XeFu)
where does electronegativity depends
- atomic size
- number of inner shell electrons
- nuclear charge
formula of electronegativity difference
EN = EN1 - EN2
