Elektroujemno
Elektroujemno is a chemical property describing the tendency of an atom to attract electrons toward itself when forming a chemical bond. It helps explain why bonds are polar, how electron density is distributed in molecules, and why some elements influence acidity and basicity in reactions. In many languages, including several Slavic languages, the term corresponds to electronegativity.
Elektroujemno is quantified using several scales. The Pauling scale assigns dimensionless values based on bond dissociation
In the periodic table, elektroujemno generally increases across a period and decreases down a group. Nonmetals
Limitations include dependence on chemical environment and bonding context. Elektroujemno is not an intrinsic constant of
