Relations between binding energies of simple metals, ionization potentials of free atoms and dissociation energies of diatomic molecules on atoms

Dependences of binding energy values in simple metals and dissociation energies of diatomic molecules on the calculated ionization potentials are presented. Linear relations between the energies (binding energy in simple metals, ionization energy of free atoms and energy of diatomic molecule dissociation to ions) are ascertained. An important role of average geometric values of ionization potentials in the relations presented is shown. 6 refs.; 2 figs.; 1 tab
