Abstract
A new formula for the calculation of atomic electronegativities from the atomic size and nuclear effective charge is proposed. The formula has the same dimensionality as the one used for the thermochemical scale. The calculated ionic and van der Waals atomic electronegativities are used for the interpretation of the bond nature in binary and coordination compounds (in particular, the bond ionicity is calculated in molecules and crystals of the AB type).
