A
Allred-Rochow electronegativity
💡 Explanation:
Allred and Rochow considered that electronegativity should be related to the charge experienced by an electron on the surface of an atom. The higher the charge per unit area of atomic surface, the greater the tendency of that atom to attract electrons. The effective nuclear charge, Z* experienced by valence electrons can be estimated using Slater's rules.
