Question

Equation for finding the electronegative by Pauling method​

Answer 1

By doing some careful experiments and calculations, Pauling came up with a slightly more sophisticated equation for the relative electronegativities of two atoms in a molecule: EN(X) - EN(Y) = 0.102 (Δ1/2).

Answer 2

Answer:

Linus Pauling was the original scientist to describe the phenomena of electronegativity. The best way to describe his method is to look at a hypothetical molecule that we will call XY. By comparing the measured X-Y bond energy with the theoretical X-Y bond energy (computed as the average of the X-X bond energy and the Y-Y bond energy), we can describe the relative affinities of these two atoms with respect to each other.
