Abstract
A comparison is made between the electronegativities of ``quark atoms'' as predicted by a recent article, and those suggested by traditional chemical methods. It is shown that the neglect of valence-state considerations for the ionization energies and electron affinities produces serious errors in calculating electronegativities by the Mulliken method. As analyses of the values for ``normal atoms'' show such disparities, it is likely that the new numbers are in error.
