    Study Notes

    Electronegativity

    • Electronegativity values range from 0.7 to 4.0
    • Higher electronegativity values indicate a greater tendency to acquire electrons
    • 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
