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.
The electronegativity of an atom is a measure of its affinity for electrons. The atoms of the various elements differ in their affinity for electrons. This image distorts the conventional periodic table of the elements so that the greater the electronegativity of an atom, the higher its position in the table.lthough fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element, it is the electronegativity of runner-up oxygen (O) that is exploited by life. 1  The shuttling of electrons between carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms powers life.
