If ionisation energy of an atom is 10 eV & electron affinity is 6.8 eV, then electronegativity of the atom on Pauling's scale is:
Given IE=10 eV and EA=6.8 eV
Mulliken electronegativity which is defined as the average of the ionization energy and electron affinity of an atom (both in eV).
ENMulliken=10+6.82=8.4
Mullikens electronegativity value is about 2.8 times as large as Paulings electronegativity value.
So, ENPauling=8.42.8=3
