Pauling's electronegativity scale accounts for the difference in energy between the heteroatomic dissociation energy and the half the sum of the homoatomic dossiciation energies (This difference is converted to eV and the square root is taken to get the difference in electronegativities). Fluorine is arbitrarily given an electronegativity value of 4 and the rest are derived from there. This experimentally derived parameter tells us about the ionic contribution to a bonding interaction. Values are not given for the Noble Gases....
