Abstract
A theory for the surface tension of liquid metals is presented and applied to the alkalis and the polyvalent metals, Mg, Zn and Al. The numerical results are in excellent agreement with experimental data. The theory also predicts realistic surface density profiles for the ions and the electrons.Keywords
