A discussion is presented of the relationships between properties (geometric properties, bonding properties, those related to thermal vibrations, those due to stress formation, those related to diffusion phenomena) exhibiting common group features. An element in oxide glasses has its own specific partial properties and its own glass-forming ability; according to these characteristics, the elements have been divided into seven classes distinctly distinguishable in the block arrangement of the periodic system. The V-phenomenon constitutes a basis for a correlation model of the partial properties of glasses derived from the general properties of the atoms. Multiple linear and quadratic regression was applied in the study of the respective correlations. The results allow to predict the properties of oxides in oxide glasses.
