2022: ☢️ Electronegativity of Sulfur (S) [& Uses, Discovery, Sources ...

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

In the case of Sulfur the electronegativity is 2,58. Now let's dive into some facts about Sulfur. I'll walk you through...
