"This book is based on a circular chart shown in Figure 4, in which the periodic relation of the elements is indicated in terms of the valence electron potential in electron volts.. With the increased activity in developments involving electronic and ionic junctions, as in solid-state electronic and ionic devices, a chart of the periodic relations of the elements is virtually indispensabl e. This is of particular importance in that quantitative differences in the properties of elements in a given group can be indicatead and understood.. The chart may be used as a guide to select and determine the components of materials which would be preferable and logical for a given electronic or ionically dependent application. In addition to the circular chart, Figure 4, a new variation of the more conventional periodic arrangement is shown in Figures 3 and 3A. These arrangements stress the importance of a greater or lesser atomic number Z as related to the rare gases within any series of elements having the same principal quantum number.
