The chemical-physical model is applied to metallic systems where compound formation is evident. It describes the thermodynamic behavior of such systems more realistically than an ideal chemical theory because it combines the features of the physical model and the appropriate equations related to the presence of distinct chemical species in solution. The charge transfer between the dissimilar uncomplexed atoms and the equilibrium constants of the intermetallic compounds constitute the model parameters of this formation.
