An energy loss feature with energy transfer close to the anion-to-cation charge-transfer energy of NiO is observed in the inelastic-x-ray-scattering spectrum as the incident x-ray energy is tuned through the Ni {ital K} absorption edge of NiO. The inelastic-scattering cross section shows large resonant enhancement and strong incident energy dependence. These observations are interpreted using a configuration-interaction cluster model of NiO. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
