Atomic Fues potential type model potential is used within the floating spherical gaussian orbital formalism to study a series of two-valence-electron diatomics and triatomic ions. Calculated equilibrium geometries and force constants are in excellent agreement with available experimental data and results of all-electronab initio studies. Electron populations are given for fourteen diatomic species and comparison has been made with the results of other theoretical studies. The predicted results are generally satisfactory.
