Electronegativity, an essential characteristic of all elements in the periodic table, measures an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself within a chemical bond. This vital theoretical ...

Electronegativity is one of the most well-known models for explaining why chemical reactions occur. Now scientists have redefined the concept with a new, more comprehensive scale. Electronegativity is ...

Electronegativity, an important theoretical concept in chemistry, was originally defined by Linus Pauling as ‘the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself’ 1,2. Since that time, ...
