### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Electronegativity**: Electronegativity (EN) is defined as the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself. 2. **Nature of Electronegativity**: It is important to note that electronegativity is a dimensionless property. This means it does not have units and is a relative measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a bond. ...
