Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

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

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 electronegativity is related to basicity. The greater the electronegativity of an atom, the less it is willing to share its electrons.
Answer: Bases donate electrons to form new covalent bonds; ∴ if they have a greater attraction for electrons they are less likely to share them. As a result we see that electronegativity is related to basicity. The greater the electronegativity of an atom, the less it is willing to share its electrons. Key point: If the atom donating electrons to the proton has a HIGH ELECTRONEGATIVITY, then the molecule containing that atom has a LOWER BASICITY. electron donating atoms are N and F-. Because F has a higher electronegativity than N, it is less willing to donate electrons to the proton.
