Abstract
I HAVE recently published1 the periodic table of deuteride di-atoms and their positive ions, thus completing a programme initiated by the periodic classification of the elements2, and of non-hydride3 and hydride4 di-atoms according to electron configurations. In a forthcoming communication5, I propose to examine in the light of these tables a suggestion made by Dadieu and Kohlrausch6 that the ‘mean restoring force’ of a linkage may be used as a measure of bonding strength. The authors found that for C—C, C=C and C≡C linkages the mean restoring forces were closely in the ratio 1:2:3.
