Electronegativity is the ability of an element to pull electrons towards itself in a bond. In a bond, the atom with the greater electronegativity will have a partial charge, and the atom with the lower electronegativity will have a partial charge. Fluorine has the higher/lower electronegativity and Francium has the higher/lower electronegativity. Metals like to gain/lose electrons, while nonmetals like to gain/lose electrons. Thus, metals have a electronegativity, while nonmetals have a electronegativity.

Naming Covalent Compounds Although the names end in "-ide", naming for covalent is different than for ionic. We must use prefixes to specify how many of each element are present in the formula. A prefix is used for each element except when the first element has only one. Never start the name with "mono". See examples below. The following prefixes are used in covalent compounds: Formula Name nitrogen dioxide dinitrogen trioxide NO2 mono- means 1 N203 di- means carbon tetrachloride tri- means 3 dichlorine monoxide Cl20 S2C12 tetra- means 4 disulfur dichloride penta- means hexa- 5 means
