42C. A. BUNTON AND V tronegativity scale proposed here may merit general adoption because of the simple relationship with and neglecting polarizabilities. I t should be noted that this definition predicts a greater ionic character for a given electronegativity difference as the sum of the electronegativities decreases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
