Question

How do you find electronegativity?

Answer 1

Electronegativity is conceived to be the ability of an atom in a chemical bond to polarize electron density towards itself.

Explanation:

There are various scales of electronegativity of which the Pauling scale is the most famous. Pauling relied on atomic properties such as ionization enthalpies and electron affinities, which were combined `ad` `hoc` to give a fairly simple `0-4` scale.
