He didn't. He more or less arbitrarily set it at 4.0.

How did Linus Pauling measure electronegativity?

Linus Pauling measured electronegativity based on bond energies in molecules and the ability of an atom to attract electrons. He developed a scale of electronegativity values to quantify the relative ability of different atoms to attract electrons in a chemical bond.


What scale did linus pauling develop?

the electronegativity scale. the scale goes from 0 to 4 and there are no units. the higher the number, the more exposed the atoms nucleus is to electrons--more likely to gain an electron//less likely for it to lose one. the element with the highest value is fluorine with 3.8 and the lowest is francium with .7


What is the birth name of Linus Pauling?

Linus Pauling's birth name is Linus Carl Pauling.


Who determined the scale of electro negativity most often used today?

The scale of electronegativity was first drawn up by Linus Pauling in 1936. Linus Carl Pauling was born Feb 28th 1901 in Portland Oregon (USA) and died August 19th 1994 in California. He won a Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1954 and one for Peace in 1962. For more information see the related link below

What is the electronegativity for helium?

The first scale of electronegativity was developed by Linus Pauling and on his scale helium has a value of no data on a scale running from from about 0.7 (an estimate for francium) to 2.20 (for hydrogen) to 3.98 (fluorine)

Electronegativity is an idea first thought of by Linus Pauling it tells how easily an atom accepts electrons Of the two elments fluorine or calcium which is more electronegative and why?

Fluorine is more electronegative because it contains fewer electron shells; therefore, the valence shell is closer to the nucleus in the Fluorine atom than in the Chlorine atom. Electronegativity increases going from left to right in a period and decreases going down a group.
