A previous study presented a very
simple model mainly based on
Sanderson’s principle for estimating important reactivity descriptors,
such as the local hardness and the local electrophilicity. In another
study, a new way of calculating the Fukui function was obtained that
resulted in a new operative formula for the function. We also obtained
the second-order partial derivative of the electron density with regard
to the number of electrons. The current study analyzes the relationships
between the two models and justifies the origin of these relationships.
