The value of this property for the central atom of an oxyacid is directly positively correlated with acid strength, and the atom with the lowest value for this property will likely be central in a simple molecule.
One version of this scales with the atomic number over the square of the covalent radius. The value of this property for the central atom of an oxyacid is directly positively correlated with acid strength, and the atom with the lowest value for this property will likely be central in a simple molecule. Another type is the mean of the first ionization energy and electron affinity and is known as the Mulliken version. The differences in it among members of a compound dictates the polarity of the bond between then. For ten points, name this property which is highest for fluorine and is most commonly measured by the Pauling scale.
