Abstract
Potential energies and the number of nearest neighbors in liquid neon, argon, krypton, and xenon are calculated using a continuum approximation and the Lennard–Jones potential energy function. The number of nearest neighbors obtained in this way compare very well to those obtained from the neutron diffraction data. The potential energies are used to calculate the latent heat of fusion for these elements, which are in excellent agreement with the experimental data in all cases.
