Abstract :
In the present study we have derived the expression for the bulk modulus using the Hildebrand approximation and the lattice potential energy for rare gas solids (RGS). The derived relation is further used to derive the expression for first and second order pressure derivatives of the bulk modulus for RGS. The derived relations are also used to compute the values of these constants in the case of Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe which are compared with the available values.
