Abstract
The radial distribution function g(r), by itself, gives a valuable but nevertheless limited picture of liquid structure, even for a monatomic fluid. Finer details of the structure of such a one-component fluid are contained in higher order correlation functions. These describe the relative distribution in space of groups of three or more atoms.
