According to Pauling, the AB bond energy is equal to the average of the AA and BB

Question:

According to Pauling, the A–B bond energy is equal to the average of the A–A and B–B bond energies plus an energy contribution from the polar character of the bond:
BE(A–B) = 1/2 [BE(A–A) + BE(B–B)] + k(XA  XB)2]
Here XA and XB are the electronegativities of atoms A and B, and k is a constant equal to 98.6 kJ. Assume that the electronegativity of H is 2.1. Use the formula to calculate the electronegativity of oxygen.
