Abstract A graphical method of plotting the compositions of families of compounds is used in investigations into the pattern of incidence of chlorides, oxides, aluminides etc, of the elements. In many instances the points representing compounds lie on hyperbolae either of normal valency or golden ratio type, and the significance of this is discussed with special reference to the compounds of the later transition and early B sub-group elements and the hypothesis that a particular type of combination is present. Another feature of the discussion relates to the variation of atomic/ionic radii, ionization energies, valencies, d-band occupation, and lattice distortion in solid solutions in the relevant part of the Periodic Table.
