According to valence bond theory, of which Pauling was a notable proponent, this "additional stabilization" of the heteronuclear bond is due to the contribution of ionic canonical forms to the bonding.
His valence bond theory said that this stronger bond between different atoms is caused by the ionic effects to the bonding.
