The structure of palladium, platinum and zirconium in the liquid state has been studied by X-ray diffraction near the melting point. In all the cases the structure factor looks similar to those of liquid metals such as copper and silver in contrast to mercury, tin and bismuth which show the small hump or the large asymmetry of the first peak maximum in the structure factor. The atomic radial distribution function was evaluated from the structure factor and the interatomic distance and coordination number of each liquid metal were also obtained. The effective interionic potential was derived from the structural data obtained in this work using the Born-Green equation and applied to the estimation of self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity coefficient in these liquid metals by the kinetic theory of fluids.
