Zur Kristallchemie der Elemente: Schmelztemperatur, Atomvolumen, formale Wertigkeit und Bindungsvalenzen

Abstract

AbstractBond valence analysis has been performed on crystalline elements which occur in different modifications. For this purpose, the covalence of elements of main groups I to IV is set equal to group numberNand to 8-Nfor elements of groups V to VIII. Ford- andf-elements, empirical relations between melting temperature, atomic volume, and covalence were established and used for calculating the covalences. Bond valence parameters are calculated for 19 elements using the concept of geometrical coordination which applies equally well to primary and secondary bonds.
