Solving Equations (12.9) and (I2.I0) simultaneously for r+ and r, where the interionic distance in the crystal is known, yields the univalent radii. Univalent radii assume that the ions interact using a hard-spheres model such that their electron clouds do not interpenetrate with one another. For ions that are not univalent, such as Mg " ", a correction must be made for the compressibility because the larger the nuclear charge, the more likely the ion will be able to polarize the electron cloud of its neighbor. The correction factor, shown in Equation (12.14) can be derived from the Born constant, as demonstrated below in Equations (12.11)-(12.13). The corrected Pauling ionic radii for selected ions are listed in Table 12.5. 

From theoretical considerations of bond formation in electrosorbates it was concluded that the underpotentially deposited metal ad-atoms can approximately be considered to be covalently bonded and nearly completely discharged if the difference in the Pauling s electronegativities of the substrate and adsorbed metal is I Ax I < 0.5 [6]. That means these systems have electrosorption valency i/z 1. Systems in which the electrosorption valency is equal to the ionic charge are those resulting from the UPD of heavy metal ions on noble and transition metal electrodes.

One classical example that apphes the electroneutrality principle is the electronic structure of carbon monoxide, a diatomic molecule with a very small dipole moment of 0.110 debye. The only electronic structure that satisfies the octet rule for CO is C=0 , a structure that corresponds to C and O, if the shared electron pairs are equally devided by the two atoms. Pauling showed that the electronegativity difference of 1.0 would correspond to about 22% partial ionic character for each bond, and to charges of and 0° +. A second possible electronic structure, C=O , does not complete the octet for carbon. The partial ionic character of the bonds corresponds to C0.44+ If these two structures contribute...
