Questions and Answers

What is electronegativity?

  • The tendency for an atom to repel shared electrons when forming a chemical bond
  • The tendency for an atom to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond (correct)
  • The tendency for an atom to release shared electrons when forming a chemical bond
  • The tendency for an atom to remain indifferent to shared electrons when forming a chemical bond

What affects an atom's electronegativity?

  • Number of neutrons and distance of valence electrons from the nucleus
  • Number of electron shells and distance of valence electrons from the nucleus
  • Atomic number and distance of valence electrons from the nucleus (correct)
  • Atomic mass and number of protons in the nucleus

What does electropositivity characterize?

  • An element's tendency to attract shared electrons
  • An element's tendency to form covalent bonds
  • An element's tendency to repel other atoms
  • An element's tendency to donate valence electrons (correct)
