In organophosphorus chemistry, a series of values known as the Kabachnik parameters can be used to calculate this quantity.
In organophosphorus chemistry, a series of values known as the Kabachnik parameters can be used to calculate this quantity. A form of this quantity can be calculated from the effective charge squared divided by the covalent radius, while another form is the average of the energies of the valence electrons of an atom. Differences in it cause trifluoroacetic acid  to be much more acidic than acetic acid due to an inductive effect. It was predicted to be the average of ionization energy and electron affinity by Mulliken. Fluorine possesses the highest value of it at 3.98. For 10 points, name this ability of an atom to attract electrons.
