What does “Electronegativity” actually mean in Periodic Table & Periodicity, and why does it matter for JEE?
an atom's tendency to attract shared electrons; fluorine is the highest.
In simple words: an atom's tendency to attract shared electrons; fluorine is the highest. Getting Electronegativity clear matters because JEE questions on Periodic Table & Periodicity usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Electronegativity
Common mistake
assuming metals have high electronegativity.
Memory tip
electronegativity rises toward the top-right (fluorine) of the table.
