Electronegativity of an element is the tendency of its atoms to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond. The electronegativity of any given element depends upon the following factors: 1) State of hydridization A sp-hybridized carbon is more electronegative than sp2 hybridised carbon, which in turn is more electronegative than a sp3 … [Read more...] about Electronegativity
