    Bases donate electrons to form new covalent bonds; therefore if they have a greater attraction for electrons they are less likely to share them. As a result we see that electronega...

    The greater the electronegativity of an atom, the less it is willing to share its electrons.

    More electronegativity means to attract or to hold the shared pair of electrons effectively...so donation of electrons will be less...hence these are inversely proportional
