SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE:
An electronegativity scale based upon geometry changes on ionization
Abstract
An electronegativity scale has been derived from the geometries of first- and second-row diatomic hydrides and their positive ions. In general, the electronegativities thus obtained are closely similar to Mulliken, Pauling, and Allred–Rochow values. However, in principle, the new scale appears to have a major advantage over the other three in that electronegativity values may be determined from accurately measurable spectroscopic data or, failing this, from high-quality ab initio calculations.
