for metal spheres described within a spherical jellium model. These two moments, in conjunction with the Thomas-Fermi estimation of the RPA inverse energy-weighted moment, are used to study the response of these systems as a function of q. For small values of q, we recover the surface-mode systematics, whereas for large q’s the response is mainly determined by electron-hole excitations. For intermediate q values, bulk oscillations are found and their connection with the hydrodynamical-model predictions is established. In the limit of a big sphere, we have obtained an improved bulk-plasmon pole approximation for the dispersion relation which includes in a very easy way exchange and correlation effects. We have found that these corrections are not negligible. The moments of the response corresponding to a plane wave
