Abstract
The semiconductor model of electric conductivity in dense metallic vapors is modified and applied to the hard-sphere fluid with hard spheres preserving electronic properties of mercury atoms. This fluid models the supercritical mercury vapor in low density limit of the semiconductor regime. Supplementary calculations of the total scattering cross section of slow electrons on mercury atoms are described. The calculated activation energy of the electric conductivity and the values of electric conductivity are in a qualitative accord with the existing experimental data for supercritical mercury vapors.
