ELECTRONEGATIVITY |
|
|
|
|
|
Electronegativity |
is the relative attraction of an atom for the valence electrons in a covalent bond. |
|||||
It is proportional to the |
effective nuclear charge and |
inversely proportional to the covalent radius: |
||||
|
|
|
0.31( n |
1 |
c ) 0.50 |
|
|
|
|
r |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where |
n is the number of valence electrons, |
|
c |
is any formal valence charge on the atom and the sign |
||
before it corresponds to the sign of this charge, and |
|
|
|
r is the covalent radius. Originally the element |
||
fluorine, whose atoms have the greatest attraction for electrons, was given an arbitrary electroneg- |
||||||
ativity of 4.0. A revision of Pauling’s values based on newer data assigns |
3.90 to fluorine. Values |
|||||
in Table 4.5 refer to the common oxidation states of the elements. |
