worthy-an important, honorable person (word is often used humorously); he told his story to some conservative worthies; local worthies rarely challenged the chief constable. important person, influential person, personage-a person whose actions and opinions strongly influence the course of events.
Electronegativity Difference and Bond Character Covalent bond - a shared pair of electrons between two atoms Electronegativity - the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond. Electronegativity Difference, E, E = E1-E2, For example, each HââO bond in H2O has: E = EO - EH E = 3.44 - 2.10 E = 1.44. As the electronegativity difference grows from 0.00 to >3.00, the sharing of electrons becomes more skewed. First one atom becomes partially negative, -, while the other becomes partially positive, +, and the bond is polarized, a polar covalent bond.
Electronegativity is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons (or electron density) toward itself. An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the size of the atom. The higher its electronegativity, the more an element attracts electrons. The opposite of electronegativity is electropositivity, which is a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons.
