==Electronegativity and electronic hardness==
The atomic electronegativity is given by <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1749394 Robert S. Mulliken "A New Electroaffinity Scale; Together with Data on Valence States and on Valence Ionization Potentials and Electron Affinities", Journal of Chemical Physics '''2''' pp. 782-793 (1934)]</ref>
:<math>\chi  = \frac{\mathrm{IP + EA} }{2} \approx \frac{\partial E}{\partial Q}</math>
where IP is the ionisation potential, and EA is the electron affinity. The  electronic hardness is given by <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja00364a005 Robert G. Parr and Ralph G. Pearson "Absolute hardness: companion parameter to absolute electronegativity", Journal of the American Chemical Society '''105''' pp. 7512-7516 (1983)]</ref>
:<math>\eta = \mathrm{IP - EA} \approx  \frac{\partial^2 E}{\partial Q^2} </math>
==Charge equilibration energy==
Using the above expressions one has the following second order approximation for the  total electrostatic energy (<ref name="GoddardIII"> </ref> Eq. 6)
:<math>E = \sum_i  \left( q_i\chi_i  +  \frac{q_i^2}{2} \eta_i \right) + \sum_{i \neq j} q_i q_j J_{ij}</math>
The last term is a "shielded" [[Coulomb's law | Coulombic interaction]], where
:<math>J_{ij} ({\mathbf{r}}_{ij}) = \left\langle \phi_i \phi_j  \left\vert \frac{1}{| {\mathbf{r}}_{i} - {\mathbf{r}}_{j}  |} \right\vert \phi_i \phi_j \right\rangle</math>
where <math>\phi</math> represents a normalised ''ns'' Slater-type orbital.
