Electronegativity • Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. • The electronegativity scale was devised by Linus Pauling. • It is an arbitrary scale with Fluorine (the most electronegative element) having a value of 4. • All other electronegativities are assigned relative to Fluorine. • Why Fluorine??
Electronegativity • Differences in electronegativity between two atoms can tell you what type of bond will form between those atoms. • If two atoms have similarelectronegativities, neither is stronger than the other. They will share electrons equally… this is a covalent bond.
Electronegativity • If two atoms have somewhat differentelectronegativities, one atom is slightly stronger than the other. They will share electrons UNequally… this is a polar covalent bond. • They are still sharing electrons, but the electrons spend more time around the more electronegative atom (giving it a slight negative charge), and less time around the less electronegative atom (giving it a slight positive charge) creating a dipole.
Electronegativity • If two atoms have very differentelectronegativities, one atom is much stronger than the other. The stronger atom will take the electron(s) from the other atom. This is an ionic bond. • The atom that takes the electron(s) becomes a negative ion. • The atom that gives up the electron(s) becomes a positive ion. • The ions are attracted to each other and form a crystal lattice.
Electronegativity • What trends do you see in electronegativity? • What type of bonds form when atoms from opposite sides of the periodic table for a compound?
Trends in Electronegativity Electronegativity Increases Highest Electronegativity Decreases Lowest

Venn Diagram Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to ATTRACT electrons in a bond Both have tendencies to want electrons Same trends in the periodic table Ionization is the energy needed to REMOVE an electron
Reflect and Connect • 1. Predict what type of molecule (or compound) each of the following might be, justify: • A) CaCl2 • B) N2 • C) CO2 • 2. Describe in your own words how bonding atoms contributes to the characteristics of an entire molecule or group of atoms.
Reflect and Connect • Predict what type of molecule (or compound) each of the following might be, justify: • A) CaCl2 • B) N2 • C) CO2 • CaCl2 is ionic, this is because Ca and Cl are on opposite ends of the Periodic Table. • Ca carries a positive charge • Cl carries a negative charge • N2 is covalent because they have the same electronegativity, ionization energy, and are the same element • CO2 is covalent because they have the similar ionization energies and are near each other in the Periodic Table
Reflect and Connect • 2. Describe in your own words how bonding atoms contributes to the characteristics of an entire molecule or group of atoms. Bonding inside a molecule affects the entire molecule because bonds effectively distribute charge that charge in the molecule.
