Abstract
Present knowledge 0n the structure of water at air-water,
metal-water and non-metal-water interfaces (the aqueous phase
containing ions) is reviewed and discussed. The structural problem
of interest is confined to the layers of water immediately at the
interface, long range electrostatic forces being effectively screened
by a diffuse layer of ions a few molecular diameters in half-
thiclmess. A simple model of water in the monolayer next to a
metal is outlined and shown to give a qualitative account of this
region as far as electrical properties and their temperature coefficient
are concerned. However, the latter is not a very sensitive
test.
