Relation between Lattice Energy and Melting Points of Some Crystalline Substances. Part VII. Lattice Energy in Relation to Physical Properties of Some Metals

From investigation of some possible relationships between the lattice energy, —U_o, of some metals and their physical properties, the newly calculated lattice energy, —U_o, of a transition metal, as obtained from the equation —\(U_o=I X v +S\) has been found to be in better conformity with the physical properties like temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (α), compressibility (β), etc. than that obtained from the conventional  procedures.
