Consequently, the strength of oxides, nitrides and other non-metallic compounds expressed by a specific method is one of the most important characteristics in theoretical metallurgy. 1 For this reason, a comparative evaluation of the stability of hydrides, nitrides, sulphides and oxides of yttrium and calcium was carried out.To a first approximation, the assumption on the properties of the chemical compounds makes it possible to compare the values of the Gibbs energy of their formation reactions. -200 -WO
