Abstract
An empirical relation between band gap and orbital electronegativities, which are based on Zunger’s orbital radii, is determined by a simplified bond orbital model. Bonding parameter for each A-B bond among 35 elements can be constructed using the empirical relation. The bonding parameter can predict compound formation between sp-bonding atoms with about 90 % accuracy. The error of the judgement using the bonding parameter is within about 20 kJ/g-atom of heat of formation for most of the unpredictable compounds.
