Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The ability of an atom to attract electrons.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons.  In a bonded pair, electrons tend to stay closer to the more electronegative atom.  Atoms become more electronegative near the top right of the Periodic Table, with the highest electronegativity being Fluorine.

Katen [24]
You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.
