A
Measures the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.

Q
How is electronegativity measured?
A
Measured using the Pauling scale. It look at atoms within a molecule.
3
Q
What is a permanent dipole?
A
A small charge difference across a bond, resulting from a difference in electronegativities of the bonded atoms.
4
Q
Define an intermolecular force.
A
An attractive force between neighbouring molecules.
