Study Notes
Electronegativity
- Electronegativity values range from 0.7 to 4.0
- Higher electronegativity values indicate a greater tendency to acquire electrons
Trends in Electronegativity
- Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table
- Electronegativity increases from bottom to top in the periodic table
Metals vs Non-Metals
- Metals have few electrons in their outer shells (usually three or less)
- Metals form cations by losing electrons
- Non-metals have four or more electrons in their outer shells
- Non-metals form anions by gaining electrons
