Abstract
From the analysis of the electrostatic potential near the core-valence boundary in an atom, it is shown that the Pauling electronegativity scale χ p is approximately given by the formula, ▪ where N v is the valence electron number and f( n) is some function of the periodic number in the periodic table. It is also shown in detail that the Pauling electronegativity scale is closely related to the Wang-Parr electronegativity scale which is determined as the negative of the chemical potential in density functional theory. Correlation between the Pauling and Mulliken electronegativities is briefly discussed.
