Question

what is electronegativity
GPT 3.5
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself when it is involved in a chemical bond. It is used to determine the polarity of a covalent bond and the distribution of electrons in a molecule. Electronegativity values are assigned to each element on a scale known as the Pauling scale, with fluorine being the most electronegative element (assigned a value of 4.0) and cesium being the least electronegative (assigned a value of 0.7). Electronegativity helps to explain various chemical properties, such as the formation of different types of bonds, polarity of molecules, and reactivity.
