Shielding Effect!
Effective nuclear charge (Zeff ) is the “positive charge” felt by
an electron.

Electron affinity is the negative of the energy change that
occurs when an electron is accepted by an atom in the

Electronegativity, χ
χ is a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract
electrons to itself.
Concept proposed by
Linus Pauling
1901-1994
Periodic Trends:
Electronegativity
• In a group: Atoms with fewer energy
levels can attract electrons better (less
shielding). So, electronegativity increases
UP a group of elements.
• In a period: More protons, while the
energy levels are the same, means atoms
can better attract electrons. So,
electronegativity increases RIGHT in a
period of elements.
