sähkönegatiivisuusarvo
Sähkönegatiivisuusarvo, often simply referred to as electronegativity, is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. This property is fundamental in understanding the nature of chemical bonds. When two atoms form a covalent bond, the electrons are shared between them. However, the sharing is rarely equal. The atom with a higher electronegativity will pull the shared electrons closer to itself.
The concept of electronegativity was first introduced by Linus Pauling in 1932, and he developed a scale
The difference in electronegativity between two bonded atoms determines the type of bond formed. If the difference
