This study evaluates Jolly’s method to estimate the difference in homolytic bond dissociation energy between two isoelectronic molecules by the use of atomic and ionic electronegativities. The use of intermediate species as an energetic “stepping stone” between the two diatomic species in question is discussed, particularly within the context of Hess’ law. We also show a sample calculation for a pair of diatomic species that is fully consistent with data from atomic physics.
