In comparing experimental free energies of hydration of ions with calculations from electrostatic models, the self energy of the gaseous ion is the dominant term. The crystal radius is not appropriate for the calculation of this term. The van der Waals radius calculated from that of the isoelectronic noble gas by the quantum mechanical scaling principle is a reasonable alternative and leads to excellent agreement with the experimental data for ions of the noble gas structure. The model used for the ion in solution is consistent with the known dielectric properties of water. (auth)
