Atoms with higher values for this quantity are weighted more in bonding orbitals and are placed lower (20[1])in energy on MO (20[1])(“M-O”) splitting (20[1])diagrams. The formal charge exceeds the oxidation state for the atom with a higher (20[1])value for this quantity. (20[2])Atoms with high (20[1])values (20[1])for this quantity increase the chemical shift of adjacent protons (20[1])in (20[1])the (20[2])field (20[1])effect (20[1])and (20[1])their acidity (0[1])in the inductive effect. Atoms with high values of this quantity occupy the reddest (20[1])lobes on an (*) electrostatic potential surface. (10[1])Dipole moment vectors point at the atom (10[1])with (0[1])a higher value (10[2]0[1])for this (10[1])property, (10[3]0[1])and bigger differences (10[1])in it correspond to more (10[1])ionic bonds. (10[4])The Pauling scale for this (10[1])property (10[1])rates fluorine (10[1])as a 4. For 10 points, name this ability of an atom to attract electrons. ■END■ (10[2])
