A New Method of Determining Electronegativity from Other Atomic Properties

The relation, $x=0.31\left(\frac{n+1}{r}\right)+0.50,$ where $x$ represents the electronegativity of an atom according to Pauling's revised scale, $n$ the number of electrons in its incompletely filled (valence) shells, and $r$ its single bond covalent radius measured in Angstroms, has been found valid for all elements having $x$ values available for comparison, except for Ag, Au, and Cu. This equ…
