An electronegative atom, or element, is one that easily gains electrons. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom or molecule to attract electrons in the context of a chemical bond. ...

Electronegativity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (480 words)
Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom or molecule to attract electrons in the context of a chemical bond.
Two scales of electronegativity are in common use: the Pauling scale (proposed in 1932) and the Mulliken scale (proposed in 1934).
On this scale, the most electronegative chemical element (fluorine) is given an electronegativity value of 3.98 (textbooks often state this value to be 4.0); the least electronegative element (francium) has a value of 0.7, and the remaining elements have values in between.
Electronegativity - definition of Electronegativity in Encyclopedia (312 words)
Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction that an atom has for the bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
On this scale, the most electronegative element (fluorine) is given an electronegativity value of 4.0; the least electronegative element (francium) has a value of 0.7, and the remaining elements have values in between.
Electronegativity trends are to higher values for elements in the top right of the periodic table.
