Atom‐atom separations predicted by extended Hückel theory using four β parameter approximations are compared for 15 diatomic molecules. Equilibrium separations R R determined from a new proposed formula for the β parameter are compared with R R resulting from the Mulliken‐Wolfsberg‐Helmholtz, Cusachs, and Jug β formulas. Results show that the new β is best in its prediction of R e . The new formula has the required property of yielding rotationally invariant results.
