Electronegativity
电负性
Explanation (EN)
A measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Electronegativity differences between atoms influence the polarity of bonds and the properties of molecules.

About the IPA
The International Phonetic Alphabet is a standardized system of symbols used to represent the sounds of spoken language.
It helps linguists, language learners, and educators accurately describe pronunciation across languages.
Example: the word "hello" in British English is transcribed as /həˈləʊ/ in IPA.
