Abstract
A particularly simple equation of state derived from the definitions of the compressibility k and the volume thermal expansion β of homogeneous condensed phases is applied to 100 solid elemental species, which are found to show two types of colligative characteristics: typical elements whose compressibility and expansivity depend on the packing coefficient of the crystal structures and isovalent elements whose values of k and β depend on the valence of the element in the solid state.
