Chemical effects on the K-beta/K-alpha, X-ray intensity ratios for some first-row transition element compounds were studied experimentally and calculated. The vacancies in the K shell were created by 59.5 keV gamma rays from an Am-241 radioactive source and characteristic X-ray radiation from sample was measured by using Si(Li) and Ge(Li) detectors. The calculations were carried out using Brunner's model. The calculated relative K-beta/K-alpha X-ray intensity ratios are in good agreement with the present and the previously published experimental data.
