General Interest
The Role of Electron-Density Transfer and Electronegativity in Understanding Chemical Reactivity and Bonding
Russell S. Drago and Ngai M. Wong

February 1996
Vol. 73 No. 2
p. 123

Abstract
The Electrostatic-Covalent-Transfer, ECT, model provides a fit of bond energies for a large data base whose accuracy for the full data set exceeds that of any other reported approach. This result has important implications for teaching peridodic trends in ionic-covalent bonding and electronegativity in both general and inorganic chemistry. Several examples are discussed to illustrate the use of the parameters and tables of parameters are presented to encourage their application to new systems.
