A polarizable ion model is used to calculate the force constants for bending in the dihalides of the secondgroup metals. The results indicate that the bending constant is a sensitive function of the polarizability of the metal. The calculated constants are in moderate agreement with the experimental values. Some of the implicit assumptions of the model are discussed together with the implications of the calculated results.
