Q.

In Pauling’s scale electronegativities are calculated from the bond energies.
 χAχB=0.208Δ
 Δ is excess bond energy (Resonance energy)
= Actual bond energy - bond Energy of 100% covalent bond.
  100% covalent bond energy (AB) is the geometric mean of the covalent bond energies of  AA and  BB  molecules.
 E100% covalent=EAA×EBB Δ=EABEAA×EBB  or  EAB=12[EAA×EBB] χAχB=0.208[EAB(EAA×EBB)12]12

(When E is in Kcals/mole)
In SI units (E is in KJ/mole)
χAχB=0.1017Δ

reference element is H. 
For a diatomic hetero molecule

Bond length, (l) 

 l=rA+rB0.09(XAXB)
Where,  XA= Electronegativity of more electronegative atom
XB=  Electronegativity of less electronegative atom
