The Born‐Green equation has been analyzed numerically to derive the effective interionic potentials from the observed structural data for liquid alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) using a linearized simultaneous equation method. The temperature insensitive long‐range oscillatory potentials are found and the wavelength of the oscillations observed is in good agreement with that expected from the electron theory of metals in all cases. The viscosity coefficient and surface tension were calculated and compared with experimental data.
