An analytical representation of atom valence state energy ( E ( n j ), j = 1,…4; E ( n j ) is a nonlinear function of orbital occupancy numbers n j ) is proposed and explicitly derived for HAr; the values of electronegativity calculated based on E ( n j ) agree within truncation error with those of Hinze and Jaffe. However, in our representation, orbital electronegativity χ and hardness parameters η of a given orbital always include nonlinear contributions from other orbitals, hence accounting for their influence on χ and η. An atomic charge calculation procedure based on E ( n j ) is also described and shown to perform well.
