Electronegativity
The power of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
Ionic Bond
A chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges, typically between metals and nonmetals.
Decreasing Electronegativity
The order of elements listed from highest to lowest electronegativity.
Nonmetals and Metals
Elements that typically form ionic bonds due to their differing electronegativities.
Difference in Electronegativity
The reason why nonmetals and metals can form ionic bonds.
