Abstract - Concept of Electronegativity is used by so many researchers to calculate Refractive index Band energy, Dielectric constant, Metallization criterion, Basicity, Oxide ion polarizability, Bond ionicity, Third order non-linear optical susceptibility to study the so many glass systems. Here the concept of optical electronegativity is used to study these parameters for conditional glass formers refer as (II) of group V(A,B) and VI(A,B). They are Ta2O5, Nb2O5, V2O5, Cr2O3, Bi2O3, TeO2, MoO3, As2O3, WO3, Se2O3. It is observed that on decreasing the values of optical electronegativity, optical band energy, metallization criterion, and bond iconicity decreases; and optical dielectric constant, optical basicity, oxide ion polarizability refractive index, third order non linear optical susceptibility increases. All conditional glass forming oxides (II) are according to Pauling's packing rule, Goldschmidt radius ratio rule, Zachariasen's random network theory and rules for formation of glass and Sun’s single bond strength theory. For Conditional glass formers (II) radius ratio rc/ra = 0.250-0.492, [except Bi2O3 (0.75) & TeO2 (0.87)] and single bond strength greater than 90 Kcal/mol. According to Sun’s, high bond strength oxides are not good glass formers because they themselves do not forms glass; but when they forms small ring in the melt of these materials which would result in easy crystallization.

Key Words: Refractive index Band energy, Dielectric constant, Metallization criterion, Basicity, Oxide ion polarizability, Bond ionicity, Third order non-liner optical susceptibility.
