Which of the following describes an atom’s ability to attract other electrons and form a chemical bond? magnetic charge electronegativity bond strength covalence

Electronegativity

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element is the ability of an atom to attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

In the formation of a chemical bond, electrons can be shared or transferred between two atoms. This usually involves a combination of atoms with various strength of electronegativity.

When two atoms with very strong electronegativity combines, sharing of valence electrons occurs as no atom will want to lose its valence electrons.

When an atom with weak electronegativity combines with one with a strong electronegativity, transfer of electrons occurs from one atom to another. The atom with weak electronegativity readily loses its valence electrons to the one with a strong electronegativity.

b) mutualism
