Abstract
The adsorption heats of hydrogen on transition metals were approximated using a first order polynomial containing variables of basic physical importance, which were determined recently by means of the empirical method of pattern recognition: the heat of fusion, heat of vaporization, Pauling electronegativity, molar thermal conductivity, first and second ionization energies, electrical conductivity, Debye temperature and atomic volume of the metal. The agreement with experimental values is closer than that obtained with the Pauling relation. Values of adsorption heats are predicted for seven transition metals.
