Interest in probiotics is at an all-time high in the United States, driven in part by new products emerging in the market, by US researchers eager to evaluate efficacy claims rigorously, and by consumers interested in potential therapeutic and preventive health benefits.
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is given a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.lectronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

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.
