thanks for all this…..specially some posts on basics and the one with the steven hardinger video reference….helped me alot
i wanted to ask this….
1. if an atom forms a bond with some atom of different element,say
C-O ,then since O attracts elec more ,can we say tht it now it has less electronegativity compared to only O???
2. in a tertiary carbon why do electrons get pushed towards the central C,is it because of the presence of some other group,say OH or +ve charge(carbocation) or would it still occur if they were not attached…??
Actually if we go right from left by periods in periodic table, electronegativity increases.This is due to smaller size of atom which is held up tightly.
