Electronegativity
Between carbon and nitrogen which is more electronegative? I thought it was Nitrogen but according to a review session I went to, it's actually carbon?

Re: Electronegativity
Carbon is definitely more electronegative than nitrogen. May I ask what you were discussing in the review session that would cause you to doubt?

Re: Electronegativity
When drawing lewis structures any negative charges should go on the most electronegative atom and I thought the negative charge should go on nitrogen rather than carbon.

Re: Electronegativity
wait i think nitrogen is actually more electronegative than carbon since it's closer to fluorine which is the most electronegative atom on the periodic table.
