The image shows a periodic table extract with the electronegativity values of metals. [12] Wulfsberg [13] distinguishes: very electropositive metals with electronegativity values below 1.4 electropositive metals with values between 1.4 and 1.9; and electronegative metals with values between 1.9 and 2.54.
The tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself is known as electronegativity. It is a dimensionless quantity because it is only a tendency. [16] The most commonly used scale to measure electronegativity was designed by Linus Pauling. The scale has been named the Pauling scale in his honour.
Electron affinity can be defined in two equivalent ways. First, as the energy that is released by adding an electron to an isolated gaseous atom. The second (reverse) definition is that electron affinity is the energy required to remove an electron from a singly charged gaseous negative ion.
