Chemguide: Support for CIE A level Chemistry

Learning outcome 3(h)
This statement deals with electonegativity.
Before you go on, you should find and read the statement in your
copy of the syllabus.
Electronegativity
Electronegativity is one of the key concepts in chemistry, and so
you should spend some time making sure that you fully understand
it - what it means, what causes electronegativity differences, and
what effects it has.
To do that, first read the page about electronegativity in the
bonding section of Chemguide. Ignore the bit below the red
warning note.
When you are sure that you understand that page, follow the link at
the bottom of that page to look at it all again in an organic
chemistry context. Read that second page down to, and including,
"Bond polarity and inductive effects". Read the rest of the page for
interest if you want to, but you will meet this later on when it will
have more meaning to you.
If you are near the beginning of your course, you can ignore the
references in the statement to 9.1(j) and 10.6(c) for now. You will
meet these again later on, and will just find them confusing at the
moment.
