Electronegativity in chemistry is the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. It determines how electrons are distributed between atoms, influencing bond polarity, reactivity, and the chemical behavior of molecules.
Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a chemical bond. Atoms with higher electronegativity, like oxygen and fluorine, pull electrons toward themselves more than atoms with lower electronegativity.
