Abstract
A simple model is used to estimate the coordination as a function of radius ratio and concentration in random close-packed assemblies of hard spheres. The model produces values of coordinations which agree with experimental values, although not exactly. The deviations of the experimental values from the predicted values ere accounted for by the observation that, for example, in a one-component random close-packed assembly, the separation of the sphere centres must be greater than the sphere diameter.Keywords
