Electronegativities Based on Relative Valence Electron Binding Energies (ReVEBE)─Part II: Main Group and Transition
1Solid State Chemistry, Institut für Physik, Universität Augsburg, Augsburg D-86159, Germany.
None:
Electronegativities of the main-group and transition elements are proposed based on average relative valence electron binding energies (ReVEBE) deduced from experimental spectroscopic data listed in the NIST Atomic Spectra Data Base. According to this concept, only the lowest lying levels of the valence electron configurations of lower shells are considered up to the highest experimentally confirmed oxidation state. These electronegativities were obtained as estimated binding energies based on relative ground-state average valence electron binding energies for the main group and transition metal elements. The obtained values are in very good agreement with those proposed by Allen, Pauling, Allred and Rochow, as well as Mulliken.

Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
