The terms you provided correspond to specific concepts in chemistry:

  1. Electronegativity - This is a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves. It indicates the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

  2. Ionization energy - This is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule, typically measured for the first electron removal (first ionization energy).

  3. Atomic radius - This is a measure of the size of an atom, usually the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell.

In summary:

  • Electronegativity: Attractiveness for bonding electrons.
  • Ionization energy: Energy needed to remove an electron.
  • Atomic radius: Size of the atom.
