Question

The pauling scale of electronegativity is based upon which two quantities

Answer 1

Pauli scale of electronegativity is based on the following quantities;

1. Ionization energy- This is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom to form a gaseous ion.

2. Electron affinity - This is the energy released when one mole of an electron is added to a gaseous atom.

These two factors are the determinants of electronegativity as proposed by the Pauli scale.

Answer 2

your answer

the Pauling scale of electronegativity is based on ionisation potentail and electrons affinity

ionisation potential is the energy required to remove an electronic while electrons affinity is the tendency of an atom to take electon
