Question

In a ionic bond, the atom with the highest electro negativity will have a positive or negative charge?.

Answer 1

Generally, it will be the atom with the negative charge.

Explanation:

"Electronegativity is the power of an atom when in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."

Answer 2

Probably a negative charge.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself. Non-metals tend to have higher electronegativities than metals, while also being anions in an ionic bond most frequently.

And so, the atom with the highest electronegativity will have a negative charge.
