Abstract
An attempt is made to estimate the polarizability of an ion in an ioni c diatomic molecule. The method is applied to alkali halide and hydrid e diatoms. In this connection, the applicability of Rittner's model to these test molecules is examined critically. A new phenomenological f orm of the repulsive part of Rittner's model is suggested. It is argue d that the polarizability of an ion can be used as an index of the gas -phase chemical hardness of an ion in a molecule.
