atomic volume

Atomic volume: ?

Zintl noted that there was an atomic volume contraction when these compounds were formed and realised this could indicate cation formation.

- here is the atomic volume and is initial atomic concentration, is the hydrostatic stress and are the components of principal stress.

Δ is the initial difference proceeding whisker growth (when ), while is the atomic volume of Si and the specific free energy of the wire surface.

This holds true except in situations where there is an accompanying volume change in the material because this violates one of Darken's critical assumptions that atomic volume is constant.

Sanderson has also noted the relationship between Mulliken electronegativity and atomic size, and has proposed a method of calculation based on the reciprocal of the atomic volume.

These two factors (constancy of atomic volume and constancy of mole-specific heat capacity) result in a good correlation between the volume of any given solid chemical element and its total heat capacity.

If one plotted atomic volume against atomic weight, for example, one would get a many-peaked curve, with summits for the light Group I metals, valleys for the dense Group VIII metals.

In addition to bonding, AIM allows the calculation of certain physical properties on a per-atom basis, by dividing space up into atomic volumes containing exactly one nucleus, which acts as a local attractor of the electron density.

Typically the sweep takes the simple form of an advancement of the surface, such that the surface is expanded in a symmetric manner about its advancement axis, with the advancement rate set by some nominal volume attributed to each event, representative of the atomic volume of the atom prior to evaporation.
