	Electronegativity (Allen) Units Pauling scale L.C. Allen suggests that electronegativity is the average one-electron energy of the valence shell electrons in the ground state free atoms. This means that values of the Allen electronegativity can be calculated from spectroscopic data. The values obtained correlate well with Pauling electronegativity and with Allred-Rochow electronegativity. The Allen electronegativity is given the symbol Χ_spec. Notes The Allen electronegativity is given the symbol Χ_spec. For the s- and p-block elements, then: Χ_spec = (mε_s + nε_p)/(m + n) where m = number of s-electrons n = number of p-electrons ε_p = p ionization energy ε_s = s ionization energy Literature sources L.C.
