In order to enhance the viability of this paper for that issue, we suggest adding this to the beginning of IV C 2 V ) structured solids. The electronic polarizability (α), refractive index (n), band gap (E g ) and optical electronegativity (∆χ) of these solids exhibit a linear relationship when plotted against the average atomic number constituent atoms (Z av ), but fall on different lines due to the region of product of the ionic charges (PIC) of the compounds. We have applied the proposed relation on these solids and found a better agreement with the experimental data as compared to the values evaluated by earlier researchers so far.
