A measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons from a neighbouring atom to which it is bonded is called as :
Answer: C
The measure is electronegativity.
Electronegativity, as defined by Pauling, is the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons of a bond towards itself. Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
Electron affinity is the energy change when an isolated gaseous atom gains an electron, not an atom in a bond. Ionisation potential is the energy to remove an electron from an isolated atom, and electropositivity is the tendency to lose electrons, the opposite property.
