The total capability of an atom attracting valence electrons can be measured by the sum of ionization energies of valence electron in a ground‐state free atom plus its electron affinity called Total Attracting Energy, TAE = ΣniEi + EA, where, Ei is the ionization energy of the ith valence‐shell electron in a ground‐state free atom, ni is the number of valence‐shell electron bearing energy Ei, and EA is the electron affinity. And the electronegativity χCL is proportional to the average of TAE, AAE = TAEav, divided by Σni, the number of atomic valence‐shell electrons. χCL = 0.1813 TAEav = 0.1813 AAE = 0.1813 TAE/Σni, = 0.1813 (ΣniEI + EA)/Σni. Further, the atomic valence orbital electronegativity can be also obtained from the TAE value of an atom. Some discussions were made on several special aspects such as scale of rare gases, comparisons with Pauling's and Allen's scales, etc. 相似文献
