The correlation ability of 20 vertex-degree-based topological indices, occurring in the chemical literature, is tested for the case of standard heats of formation and normal boiling points of octane isomers. It is found that the correlation ability of many of these indices is either rather weak or nil. The augmented Zagreb index and the atom-bond connectivity index yield the best results.
