Electronegativity
A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Stronger electronegativity
Stronger attraction=stronger electronegativity
Factors
Nuclear charge
Distance
Shielding
Going down a group
Decreases electronegativity
Gorging across a period
Increases electronegativity
Polar
Anything with a charge is polar
Polar bond
One end is slightly positive and one end is slightly negative
Polarity
UnEqual sharing of electrons
Non polar
Equal sharing of electrons
