The nonlocal pseudopotential formalism of Harrison is applied to the problem of resistivity and thermoelectric power of liquid metals, lithium and sodium. Slater's recent value of α in the X α‐exchange is used. Exchange and correlation between the conduction electrons are taken into account using the modified dielectric function proposed by Vashishta and Singwi. The results agree well with the experimental values.
