%X We demonstrate that the embedded-atom method and related potentials predict many dimensionless properties of simple metals to depend predominantly on a single coefficient μ, which typically lies between 0.3 and 0.45. Among other relations presented in this work, we find that ${{E}_{\text{c}}}\propto {{Z}^{\mu}}$ , ${{E}_{\text{v}}}/{{E}_{\text{c}}}=\mu $ , and $G/B\propto \mu $ hold within 25% accuracy and also find a linear dependence of the melting temperature on μ. The used variables are cohesive energy E c, coordination number Z, vacancy energy E v, and bulk modulus B, while G is the average of ordinary and tetragonal shear modulus. We provide analytical arguments for these findings, which are obeyed reasonably well by several metals.
