Electronegativity
The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.
It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.
Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.
The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.
The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.
Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

Answer:
Losing 2 valence electrons
Gaining 2 electrons
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
A) Yes. The reaction reaches equilibrium when the rate of reaction of the reverse reaction is equal to the rate of the forward reaction , then the only cause for the reverse reaction to be favoured is that the initial rate of the reverse was greater than the forward one.
B) No. The rate constant of the reverse reaction can be greater than the forward one but the rate also depends on concentrations, thus a reverse reaction with greater rate constant can result in the net reaction proceeding in the forward reaction, the reverse reaction or be at equilibrium depending on the concentrations or reactants and products
C) No. A lower activation energy means a higher rate constant , but a higher rate constant does not mean that the net reaction will proceed to the reactants ( see point B)
D) No. The energy changes determine conditions under thermodynamic equilibrium and therefore the net direction of the reaction will depend on the temperature and concentrations of reactants and products with respect to the equilibrium conditions.
Answer:
Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.

Answer:
Average mass of 6 apple = 1 kg
Explanation:
Given:
Average mass of 5 dozen apple = 10 kg
Find:
Average mass of 6 apple
Computation:
Average mass of 6 apple = [Average mass of 1 apple] x [6 apple]
Average mass of 6 apple = [10/(12 x 5)] x [6]
Average mass of 6 apple = 1 kg
