Electronegativity final remarks

In this book we avoid the use of the concept of electronegativity as far as possible and base the systemization of descriptive inorganic chemistry on rigidly defined and independently measured thermochemical quantities such as ionization energies, electron affinities, bond dissociation enthalpies, lattice energies and hydration enthalpies. However, some mention of electronegativity values is unavoidable. 

Worked example 2.4 Estimation of a bond dissociation enthalpy from values 

Using the following data, estimate a value for D(Br-F) D(F-F)=158kJmoP  

This gives the value in eV convert to kJmol 1.0eV 96.5kJmor
