Albert Louis Allred (born September 19, 1931) is an American chemist accomplished in the fields of inorganic chemistry and electronegativity.
[1] Allred studied chemistry at the University of North Carolina and earned a bachelor's degree in 1953.
Allred introduced the Allred-Rochow scale of electronegativity with Eugene G. Rochow in 1958.
[2] They predicted that electronegativity, should be related to the charge experienced by an electron on the "surface" of an atom.
Allred has also since dealt with synthetic inorganic, organometallic chemistry, and electrochemistry.
