Chemical Property Chemical Property B) Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attractelectrons (or electron density) towards itself.[1] An atoms electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. The higher the associated electronegativity number, the more an element or compound attracts electrons towards it.C).
