Linus Pauling Explains Electronegativity Part 1

 

Me: Hi this is Dr. Iverson, how are you Dr. Pauling?

Linus: I am great, thank you for asking.

Me: Could you please explain your theory of electronegativity for my class?

Linus: Certainly. When two different kinds of atoms are bonded together through a sigma bond, the electron density of the bond is not shared evenly.  More electronegative atoms get more electron density, and less electronegative atoms get less electron density. Peace out from here.
