A simple Bond Charge Model is proposed to predict <i>intrinsic</i> bond energies. Model parameters can be derived from the topology of the Electron Localization Function and optimized geometries through classic considerations. Results for carbon-carbon covalent bonds are shown to be very accurate in different chemical environments. Insight can be extracted from the application of the model due to its elementary construction and simple mathematical formulation. The remarkable robustness of the fitted model highlights how different Density Functional Approximations relate geometries, densities and energies.

The relative intensities of the Mössbauer doublet in Te have been analysed at 4 K and 80 K by utilizing values of the mean square displacement tensor derived from inelastic neutron scattering measurements. The orientation β of the electric field gradient ellipsoid and its asymmetry parameter η have been determined. At 4 K, β = 90°, η = −0.17 and at 80 K, β = 92°, η = −0.48. A simple 'bond charge' model is proposed in an attempt to understand the discrepancy between these values of the electric field gradient parameters and those obtained theoretically by other authors.
