Estimates of atomic size and electronegativity are obtained directly from first-principles calculations of the atomic valence electronic charge density. Significant information about the bonding in the solid state is extracted from the computed atomic parameters, and a first-principles mapping to the semi- empirical Pauling ionicity scale is presented.
