Abstract In this paper we will discuss Pauling's classic Eq. (1) that relates bond energies, "D," and electronegativities, "x." Recast to be applicable to enthalpies of formation and reaction, we apply it to the study of hydrogenolysis reactions of dienes, diynes, and alkanes, halogenolysis reactions (with chlorine, bromine, and iodine) and metathetical reactions of organosulfur species (sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones). It is with great regret that this equation is found wanting.
