AbstractThe number and distances of metal-oxygen and metal-metal interactions were determined for various concentrations of aqueous metal nitrate solutions by modified x-ray diffraction techniques. The number of M-O interactions ranges from four to five in the 0.8 M and 1.2 M AgNO3 solutions and from six to nine in the 0.8 M, 1.2 M, and 1.6 M Pb(N03)2 solutions. The 1.6 M Ce(N03)3 solution has eight to nine Ce-O interactions, while one Hg-Hg interaction is found for the H92 (N03)2 solutions. For the silver and lead nitrate solutions, the number of M-0 interactions decreases with an increase in concentration. The cations also effect the number of interactions. Based on the nature of their RDF's, the lead and cerium ions are classified as positively hydrated and the silver ion is negatively hydrated.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
