The lindemann rule or criterion predicts the melting point of solids. Its a shake itself to pieces model-- if the root mean square amplitude of vibration leads to one atom hitting another then the solid melts.

It is suprisingly good at predicting mps for some substances. Lindemann proposed it in 1910.
