The concept of a structure element is crucial in studying the thermodynamics of non‐stoichiometry in solids. This chapter discusses the structure elements of a solid; quasi‐chemical reactions in solids; equilibrium states between structure elements in solids; and thermodynamics of structure elements in unary solids. A solid is said to be binary if it contains at least two structure elements occupied...
