For 10 points, name this property that measures an atom's ability to attract electrons.
Molecular orbital theory can explain the relationship between it and absolute hardness in Lewis acid- base complexes. One equation for measuring it relies on Slater's rules and is named for Allred and Rochow. Germanium has an anomalously high value for this property compared to silicon due to effective nuclear charge. Increasing from left to right and from the bottom to the top of the periodic table, this property is highest in fluorine, which has a value of 4.0 on the Pauling scale.
