Abstract

The article continues the search for a general law that describes the physical properties of a solid body, represented as a complex compound, through the physical properties of its elements. For a set of mixtures of metal oxides (actinide oxides), their melting or solidification temperatures were described in terms of the atomic weighted sum of the melting/solidification temperatures of these metals and molecular oxygen, multiplied by a variable which depending on the crystal structure and properties of melt of the compound and on the atomic numbers of the elements that make up the compound.
