Abstract
The noble gases are for practical purposes insoluble in metals(1). On the other hand, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are soluble in many metals. As long as the concentration of the dissolved gas is low, the solubility at constant temperature is proportional to the square root of the gas pressure. From this it follows that the gas is present in the metal, not in the form of molecules but as atoms(2).

Notes
A. van Wberingen and N. Warmoltz, Physical Grav. 22, 849 (1956), proved that at high temperature helium diffuses through single-crystal walls of the non-metals germanium and silicon. Their experiments show that helium has a noticeable solubility in these elements which crystallize with the loosely-packed diamond structure.

Calculations based on the continuum theory of elasticity lead D. N. Beshers, J. Appl. Phys. 36, 290 (1965) to the conclusion that although this is so for nitrogen and carbon in iron, it does not apply to vanadium where these elements would occupy tetrahedral interstices which, according to Table 1, are larger than those in iron. According to his calculations oxygen and nitrogen in niobium and tantalum would also prefer tetrahedral sites to octahedral sites. It is doubtful whether these conclusions are justified (see Sections 1.5 and 1.6).

In some liquid metals the solubility of chlorine is very great. As an extreme example it can be mentioned that Cs and CsCl form an uninterrupted series of liquid solutions. See: M. A. Bredig, H. R. Bronstein and W. T. Smith, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 77, 1454 (1955).

Analogous results have been obtained by Allard et al. in determinations of the heats of absorption of hydrogen in a series of palladium-gold alloys. Over the investigated region of gold concentrations (5•7 to 44•7 atom per cent Au) the enthalpy of solution for hydrogen at infinite dilution varies from −25 kJ mole−1 (−6•0 kcal/mole) for 5•7% Au to −39 kJ mole−1 (−9•3 kcal/mole) for 44•7% Au; K.
