Simple Charge Transfer Model for Electronegativity Neutralization

Following Iczkowski and Margrave,94 as well as other workers, Ray et al,91 assume that an equation of the form 

The electronegativity equalization principle then demands that for the final molecule 

Electronegativity values obtained by Ray et al. from this equation are recorded in Tables 8 and 9 good agreement with other estimates is obtained. 

An interesting connection between the above formula and equation (162) can be demonstrated. In the quadratic approximation of equation (164), the constants ax, bx, a 2, and b2 are given by 

Extension of these results to polyatomic molecules is straightforward. Relations for ABot and ABC systems, as given by Ray et al., are listed in Table 10 and some numerical predictions are given in Table 9. Again there is good agreement with other estimates.
