61. The molecular hardness η measures the resistance to change in the electron distribution in a collection of nuclei and electrons. It may be defined as the derivative of μ relative to the number of electron in the system. For a recent review on this issue see:. Pearson R.G. J. Chem. Sci. 117 (2005) 369
