Answer :

Electronegativity is the capacity of a covalently connected atom to draw the shared electrons.

The capacity of an atom to draw the shared electrons from a covalent connection to itself is known as electronegativity. If the electronegativity of the linked atoms is the same, then the shared electrons will be distributed evenly. The electrons in a bond will not be distributed evenly if one of the atoms is more electronegative and hence attracts more of the bond's electrons. The more electronegative atom will "take" the electrons, resulting in two ions and an ionic connection, if the difference in electronegativity is great enough to prevent any sharing of the electrons.

Think of a tug-of-war match. The rope remains in the middle if the two teams are of equal strength. The rope is tugged in the direction of the team that is more powerful. The rope eventually ends up on the side of the stronger team if one team is much stronger than the other. If this happens, the weaker team is no longer able to hold onto the rope. Chemical bonding are comparable to this. The electrons are shared evenly if the electronegativity of the two bonding atoms is equal. The bond's electrons are more drawn to an atom if it has a higher electronegative charge. The electrons won't be shared, leading to an ionic bond, if one atom is much more electronegative than the other atom.
