Abstract An analysis of the available data on viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients alkali metal vapours is presented. The based upon theoretical calculations properties monatomic systems, described in preceeding parts I I.A present paper, making use kinetic theory a binary gas reacting mixture. A summary measurement techniques used, including, whenever possible, magnitude corrections performed raw nominal precision results, complements analysis. It concluded that it possible to select precise mutually consistent sets experimental results for both lithium, sodium potassium among literature classify all uncertainty classes. Regarding rubidium cesium no systematic discussion due lack with sufficient precision.
