Finding electronegativity of elements.

[Brett Nortj]

This I have been staring at for about half an hour now, and, have found that the elecronegativity can be worked out like the weights of elements I depicted at a earlier point.

Basically, you take the atomic number, or, number or protons, and, observe that every time the number increases, (-1) [Atomic radius] (+1) [Ionization] (+1) [Electronegativity], coming to +2 per atomic listing. This means that Hydrogen is [3], and Lithium is [5], okay?

Then, that number that it comes to is divided by the row it is on, times by half the column it is listed in, okay?

~ This is still a work in progress, so please help me find out the formula?

What is the point?

Fitting a curve through 100+ data points is going to produce a complex formula. Much easier to just look at the PSE.

[John Cuthber]

Just looking at the coloured picture , gold, manganese and lead are going to mess up any nice smooth curve through the data.

 

So it's not just pointless, but doomed.

Let's try this nonsense out shall we?

 

Boron, row 2 column 13  (number +2) = 7

[math]\frac{{7*2}}{{6.5}} = 2.2[/math]

 

Carbon row 2 column 14 (number +2) = 8

[math]\frac{{8*2}}{7} = 2.3[/math]

 

Aluminium row 3 column 13 (number +2) = 15

[math]\frac{{15*3}}{{6.5}} = 6.9[/math]

 

Silicon row 3 column 14  (number +2) = 16

[math]\frac{{16*3}}{7} = 6.8[/math]

 

Falls apart pretty quicky don't you think?

 

Wouldn't you be better finding out what electronegativity is?

Fo rinstance what are the units of EN?
