Energy distributions in the spectra of the ionizing nuclei of H II regions beyond λ <= 91.2 nm were calculated. A grid of photoionization models of 270 H II regions was constructed. The free parameters of the model grid are the hydrogen density nH in the nebular gas, filling factor, energy Lc-spectrum of ionizing nuclei, and metallicity. The chemical composition from the studies of Izotov et al. were used for model grid initialization. The integral linear spectra calculated for the photoionization models were used to determine the concentration ne, temperatures Te of electrons, and ionic concentrations n(A+i)/n(H+) by the nebular gas diagnostic method. The averaged relative ionic abundances n(A+i)/n(H+) thus calculated were used to determine new expressions for ionization correction factors which we recommend for the determination of abundances in the H II regions of blue compact dwarf galaxies.
