✦ Synopsis


It is shown that the incorrect trends in the calculated values of absolute hardness parameter, q, for atoms based on the finite difference method, f (I-EA), disappear if the density functional theoretic definition, 1 (S2E/Sn2) is used.

Parr and Pearson [ 11 defined the absolute hardness parameter, q, for atoms as
