title: A quantitative theory of the Stern electric double layer.
abstract: A quantitative theory of the Stern electric double layer is suggested. It is based on the view that every ion possesses a geometrical and an electrokinetic radius, that the ionic atmosphere begins from the geometrical one, and that the difference between these radii is the Stern quantity delta. The equations of the mentioned radii and the quantity delta are established and the values of the different potentials characterizing an ion and its ionic atmosphere are determined.
