Fersman's idea of energy coefficients (shares) of cation and anion constituents of minerals is modified by the author within the framework of minerals atom kernels and binding electrons crystal chemistry, in accordance to which the energy of atom kernels and binding electron cohesion energy that determines minerals properties is calculated by summarizing corresponding energy coefficients. The work presents a modified and extended periodic system of chemical elements atom kernels energy coefficients. Physical essence of atom kernels energy coefficients is disclosed for the first time as cumulative ionization potential of their formation from free neutral atoms. Values of inter-atom-kernels binding electrons' constant energy coefficients are substantiated. A pronounced predominating constituent of atom kernels in the energy of atom kernels and binding electron interaction is validated. It is ascertained that atom kernels energy in minerals exceeds binding electron energy approximately by an order of magnitude greater.
