Electronegativity of Samarium (Sm) [& Uses, Discovery, Sources ... 2022

Electronegativity is an important chemical property that tells how an atom of Samarium may atract electrons from other atoms and form a bond. Ok what is the electronegativity of an atom of Sm?

In the case of Samarium the electronegativity is 1,17. Now let's dive into some facts about Samarium. I'll walk you through...
