CORRIGENDUM to “Atomic polarizability: A periodic descriptor”

Choudhary S, Ranjan P and Chakraborty T. J Chem Res 2020; 44: 227 DOI: 10.1177/1747519819889936

The authors regret that references 9 and 23 in the reference list were transposed in error. The reference list should read as follows:

9. Ghosh DC and Islam N. Int J Quantum Chem 2011; 111: 40

23. Ghosh DC and Chakraborty T. J Mol Struc: Theochem 2009; 906: 87

The text of the article is also updated with correct information.

On page 227, section “Introduction”, second paragraph, line 12 the correct sentence should read as:

“Furthermore, Ghosh and Islam⁹ have also computed global atomic hardness taking into account the relationship between Electronegativity and Hardness.”

On page 228, section “Importance of absolute radii to compute the atomic polarizability”, first paragraph, line 5 the correct sentence should read as:

“Ghosh and Islam⁹ have already established that the electronegativity of the atom cannot be an in situ property.”

On page 228, section “Method of computation”, fifth paragraph, the correct sentence should read as:

“Ghosh and Islam⁹ have also proved that another periodic descriptor, hardness, is numerically equal to electronegativity, that is, χ = η.”
