The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first part is to introduce relative-
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$, Jensen-
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$ and (p, w)-Jensen-
$\chi_{\alpha}^2$ divergence measures and then examine their properties. In addition, we also explore possible connections between these divergence measures and Jensen–Shannon entropy measure. In the second part, we introduce 
$(p,\eta)$-mixture model and then show it to be an optimal solution to three different optimization problems based on 
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$ divergence measure. We further study the relative-
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$ divergence measure for escort and arithmetic mixture densities. We also provide some results associated with relative-
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$ divergence measure of mixed reliability systems. Finally, to demonstrate the usefulness of the Jensen-
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$ divergence measure, we apply it to a real example in image processing and present some numerical results. Our findings in this regard show that the Jensen-
$\chi_{\alpha}^{2}$ is an effective criteria for quantifying the similarity between two images.
