Calculation of electronegativity(E. N.)


 (1)      Mulliken scale :

E. N. = Electron affinity +ionisation potential/ 2

Note = All data present in electron volt (ev)  

Electron affiniy :  It is the amount of energy, that is released,  when an electron is added in the valence shell of isolated gaseous atom. 

Ionisation potential : The amount of energy that is required to remove valence electron from isolated gaseous atom is called ionisation  potential. 

(2). Pouling scale:-

:-  it is based on energy data. 

:- according to pouling a difference in E.N.

of two atom A and B is given by the following relation :- 

Xa - Xb = 0.208√delta

Delta =  bond dissociation energy of A &B molecule -√bond dissociation  energy of A * bond dissociation  energy of B

:-   there is a relationship in between pouling & mulliken scale

X(pouling)  = x ( mulliken)  / 2.8.

X(pouling) = E. A. +I.P/2*2.8

X(pouling)=  E.A + I.P./5.6
