In my research, the definition of electronegativity,”Electronegativity: A chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons (or electron density) toward itself. “-(https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-chemistry/chapter/electronegativity/) Electronegativity had been discovered by Linus Pauling in the year of 1932. Initially, electronegativity was well discovered in 1809 and had existing information, until Pauling had taken electronegativity findings into his own hands. Pauling describes electronegativity as, “The power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.”The higher electronegativity of an element, that means the more the atoms pull electrons towards itself, or away from other atoms. For electronegativity to increase, […]

Hydrangea bloom colours, determined based on acidity or basicity of soil is a thing, yes. Unlike most plants, hydrangea colours don’t dependant and very on change of multiple pigments absorbing and reflecting light energy, but however they depend and change based on varying amounts and access to aluminum ions in the soil. Hydrangea flowers are much like litmus paper for a gardener, their colour changing solely on pH level of the soil. This means that they are not necessarily a bloom of true flower, they are known more formally as an inflorescence.  Hydrangea flowers in a more acidic environment of […]
