On the basis of the analysis of temperature fluctuations of liquid critical clusters during a vapor to
liquid phase transition the semiempirical relationship linking the thermhysical properties with the capillary
properties of simple substances near to boiling point of these substances is offered. This re-lationship
accounts for correlations of thermohysical and the capillary properties, which were noted earlier by a series of
authors, and specifies the new correlation. The relationship is fulfilled in a wide interval of boiling point
for the majority of metals. The independent scale for a size of critical clusters is offered.
