Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are a result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. The more electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and the less electronegative atom acquires partial positive charge while showing charge distribution.

- Which of the following statements is true? A. An atom with high electronegativity is an electron donor because it has high ionization energy B. An atom with a high electronegativity is an electron donor because it has already has too many electrons C. An atom with a high electronegativity is an electron acceptor because it has a high affinity for electrons. D. An atom with high electronegativity can be a electron acceptor or donor because electron affinity can be (+) or (-)arrow_forward(distinct property, electronegativity, pharmaceutical or industrial uses, etc) Fl Be He Hg AgNO3 Sodium nitratearrow_forwardWhat intermolecular forces are in play for sodium stearate?
