Abstract

In this paper,a new electronegativity scale is proposed in terms of the atomic petcntial Χ,namely,Χ=n/r (1)where n represents the number of electrons in the valence shell of the atom and r,the covalent radius in Angstrms.The new scale is related to Pauling's electronegativity by the following equation: Χ_(Pauling)=a n/r+b (2) where a=0.34,b=0.67. The electronegativities of most elements in various valence states have been calculated and the values found are close to those obtained by other authors.
