A theory is presented in which the radial distribution function (RDF) of an amorphous solid is considered to be the sum of a series of shells of n‐bond neighbors. Application of the theory to the structure of amorphous Ge accounts quantitatively for the experimental RDF out to a radius of 6Å. Limits are placed on the dihedral angle distribution indicating that staggered‐like configurations are more probable than eclipsed‐like.
