Answer:

Electronegativity

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronegativity, representation χ, is a chemical property that represents the tendency of an atom to draw a shared pair of electrons towards itself. An atom's electronegativity is influenced by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons lies from the charged nucleus.
