Abstract
The hole theory of liquids is reconsidered in light of Eyring's more recent significant-structures theory. The free volume is assumed to be a linear function of the number of neighboring holes and the partition function is evaluated by means of the Bragg—Williams approximation. In contrast to previous hole theories, the cell dimensions are found to be virtually constant. The resulting equation of state is examined in detail and agreement with experimental data is good throughout both the liquid and dense gas regions.
