Abstract

Correlations exist between the heat of solution of hydrogen and the difference in energy between the lowest lying energy levels of the trivalentd n-1electronic configuration and the divalentd n-2 2 (or the tetravalentd n) configuration of the neutral gaseous atoms. The trends observed in the transition metal series are discussed in relation to the number of valence electrons per atom in the transition elements in their metallic and neutral states.
