Abstract
Equilibrium properties of one-component liquids are obtainable—as suggested by Collins-from the coding procedure in terms of distances between neighboring molecules. The monatomic case is dealt with first, and consequences of some simplifying assumptions are explored. The connection between the probabilityψ(R) of an intermolecular distanceR and the usual pair distribution function is considered. The treatment is then generalized to the case of heterogeneous multiatomic molecules.
