Electronegativity is a measure of

  • A.Metallic character
  • B.Non-metallic character
  • C.Basic Character
  • D.None of these

Answer: B

Electronegativity is a measure of non-metallic character.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself, and it rises across a period and falls down a group - exactly the trend of non-metallic character. Metals are electropositive, giving electrons up rather than attracting them.
