23. (formula presented) is akin to (formula presented), a measure of ionicity, in the scaling relationship for bulk modulus in covalent solids, (formula presented) (formula presented) takes values 0, 1, and 2, respectively, for solids from Group IV, III-V, and II-VI.

26. The glass forming region in alkali tellurites is interspersed by three crystalline compositions at (formula presented), 0.33, and 0.50 (please see Ref. 17). In each of these crystals, (formula presented) varies with composition at the most by 0.5 and that too only near the higher (x) end of the glass forming region. Of course, (formula presented) depends on which alkali atom is considered.
