Group Theory of Chemical Elements

Аннотация

This book is in no way purely theoretical. Rather, it has strong connections with experimentally measured properties of chemical elements and their compounds. To compare the theory with experiments, the author considered the properties of elements that are associated with their chemical behavior: ionization potentials, atomic volumes, enthalpies of formation of the elements, polarizability of the atoms, their boiling and melting points, enthalpy of vaporization, electron affinity, energies of ionic lattices, and bonding energies of diatomic molecules and some lanthanide compounds.
