Electronegativity is one of the most well-known models for explaining why chemical reactions occur. Now scientists have redefined the concept with a new, more comprehensive scale. Electronegativity is ...

RECENT advances in our knowledge of the structure of the atom have added very little to the elucidation of the nature of the metallic state, and in this connexion a very suggestive paper by Prof. C. A ...

A new model rectifies the long-standing deficiencies of the electronegativity concept. Researchers from Skoltech have developed a simple, universal formula that accurately predicts the chemical ...

The number is a measure of electronegativity – how badly atoms want to hang onto (or attract) their electrons. Fluorine, which is the most electronegative element, not only wants to hang to its own ...
