We use differences in electronegativity to account for certain properties of bonds. What if all atoms had the same electronegativity values? How would bonding between atoms be affected? What are some differences we would notice?

If all atoms had the same electronegativity values, electrons would always be shared equally between the atoms involved in a bond since they are equally attracted to the shared electrons. This means that all compounds would be nonpolar so some consequences of this would be that substances would have lower melting and boiling points and would not show surface tension.
