The radiative decays (..pi../sup 0/, eta, eta', K/sup 0//sub L/)..--> gamma gamma.. and (eta, eta', K/sup 0//sub L/)..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/..gamma.. are described in a chiral model with quark loops. A comparative analysis was performed of the results of a description of radiative decays of the eta and eta' for two possible values of the singlet-octet mixing angle (theta = -11/sup 0/ and -18.2/sup 0/) and for different values of the renormalization constant of the axial quark current g/sub A/. The best agreement with experimental data is achieved with theta = -11/sup 0/ and g/sub A/ = 1. The vector form factor of K/sub l/4 decay has also been calculated.
