Conclusions
Taking account of the antibonding nature of the valence orbitals in fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen compounds reduces the electronegativity of these elements in comparison with the classical values by 0.4, 0.3, and 0.2, respectively. The recommended values are: XF=3.6, XO=3.2, and XN=2.8.
