Solution

On Mulliken scale, the average of ionization potential and electron affinity is known as electronegativity.
Electronegativity =Ionization potential+Electron affinity2.
On Pauling scale, the formula changes to
Electronegativity =Ionization potential+Electron affinity5.6. This formula is applicable when the values of the ionization energy and electron affinity are taken into eV.
However, when the values of ionization potential and electron affinity are taken in kcal/mol, then the formula becomes
Electronegativity =Ionization potential+Electron affinity2×62.5.
