单词 electronegative
释义

Definition of electronegative in English:

electronegative

adjective ɪˌlɛktrə(ʊ)ˈnɛɡətɪvəˌlɛktrəˈnɛɡədɪv
  • 1Physics
    Electrically negative.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Consequently, the more electronegative atom has a partial negative charge.
    • For example, electrons in a covalent bond are assigned to the more electronegative atom.
    • The less electronegative atom will have a partial positive charge since the shared electrons spend less time near it.
    • The centers of corresponding ellipsoids are close, in agreement with well-known restrictions on the hydrogen bonding of electronegative atoms.
    • Specifically, large electropositive or electronegative regions can reasonably attract oppositely charged entities through long-range electrostatic interactions.
  • 2Chemistry
    (of an element) tending to acquire electrons and form negative ions in chemical reactions.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Since there are two atoms bound to the sulfur atom (the less electronegative element), there must be one double bond.
    • Because halogens are highly electronegative, their atoms normally retain negative charge in these compounds.
    • Also, the energy has such a large negative value, because the cholesterol hydroxyl interaction with the phosphate group involves several electronegative phosphate oxygens.
    • In the case of binary covalent compounds, the positive oxidation number is assigned to the more electropositive element, and the negative oxidation number to the more electronegative element.
    • Oxygen, the next most electronegative element, is also a powerful oxidant, as are chlorine and bromine.

Derivatives

  • electronegativity

  • noun ɪˌlɛktrə(ʊ)ˌnɛɡəˈtɪvətiəˌlɛktroʊˌnɛɡəˈtɪvədi
    mass nounChemistry
    • The degree to which an element tends to gain electrons and form negative ions in chemical reactions.

      the high electronegativity of fluorine atoms
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The effect of electronegativity dominated the analysis, suggesting that it is the major contributor.
      • Atoms with widely different electronegativities will form ionic bonds, since the atom with the highest eletronegativity is able to pull an electron away from the atom with the lower electronegativity.
      • Fluorine steals electrons from hydrogen atoms because fluorine has a higher electronegativity rating.
