Scientific paper

Since only 12 metal oxides have been identified with certainty in cool stellar atmospheres and sunspots, the failure to detect more is explained on the basis of metal abundances, equilibrium constants, and dissociation energies. Recently determined experimental dissociation energies are used for these considerations. It is shown that only in stars with a reversing-layer temperature of no more than 3000 K the spectra of some of the metal oxides considered can be detected in the visible at an equivalent width of more than 1 mA.
