We describe a model of H chemisorption on Ni, Pd, and Pt in which both extended sp bands and the more localized d bands are appropriately incorporated. It is found that interaction between the H $1s$ level and the substrate d levels plays an important role which increases in the order Ni> Pd> Pt. The results are in good accord with ultraviolet-photoelectron-spectroscopy data.
