electronegativity

in electronegativity, it determines whether a bond is __________ or _____________

nonpolar or polar

electronegativity is the measure of the tendency of an atom to ______________ electrons towards _________

attract, itself

electronegativity determiens how the _______________ electrons are ______________ between the 2 atoms in a bond

shared, distributed

the more strongly an atom attracts electrons in bonds, the _______________ the electronegativity

larger

on the periodic table, going left to right upper means ________________ electronegativity

increasing

on the periodic table, doing top to bottom left means ___________ electronegativity

decreasing

metals have ________ electronegativity

low

nonmetals ahve _________ electronegivity

high

as covalent character decreases, _____________________ increases

ionic character

electronegativity difference for nonpolar covalent

less than 0.4

electronegativity difference for polar covalent

0.4-1.9

electronegativity difference for ionic

greater than 1.9

what are polyatomic ions

compounds containing both covalent and ionic bonds, they are typically polar covalent
