Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of the Periodic Law This work is intended as a study of the development of the natural law underlying the relations of the elements and their properties to one another. It is to be used for purposes of reference and of study and not as a mere history of the subject. The errors and repetitions of the writers upon this subject in the past few years have abundantly proved the necessity for some such gathering and systematizing of the work of former years. It is, in the main, an out-of-the-way sort of literature and the difficulty of gathering it increases with the lapse of time. The growing interest in this natural law speaks well for the progress of the science in the future. More and more it is becoming recognized as the basis of the science, and the hope of the solution of some of the greatest problems which the chemist has to face seems to lie in it. The reproach that chemistry is not, in the fullest sense, a science will continue just so long as chemists content themselves with raking together the straws of facts, gleaners many of them in a harvested field, and neglect the "weightier matters of the law." The gathering of facts is good, gleaning is good, but contentment with such gains means stagnation. The task has been undertaken in the hope of arousing interest in this matter and of aiding in the further development of the still incomplete system. No excuses are offered for the imperfections of the work. It could not be other than imperfect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...it is obvious that " Prout's law," or some modification of it, such as was many years ago suggested by Dumas, must be true, the atomic weights of all the other so-called elements must be multiples of that of hydrogen or multiples of that fraction of the hydrogen atom which may result from the dissociation of this body itself. If such fraction be very small as compared with the effect of the inevitable errors of experiment, the experimental vertification or refutation of the law will prove impossible, but if it be considerable, as, for instance, onehalf of the commonly known hydrogen atom, or onefourth as assumed by Dumas, the question admits of practical examination." The author further questioned the justice of the view taken by Stas of his results that 'Prout's law' is disproved by them or is not supported by them. "The careful work of Stas and others only proves by close agreement of the results that fortuitous errors have been reduced within narrow limits. It does not prove that all sources of constant error have been avoided and indeed this can never be absolutely proved, as we never can be sure that our knowledge of the substances we are dealing with is complete." He added that, of course, one distinct exception to the assumed law would disprove it, if that exception were itself fully proved, but this is not the case. "Out of the eighteen best known atomic weights ten approximate to integers within a range of variation less than one-tenth of a unit. The degree of probability that this is purely accidental is found to be only equal to 1: 1097.8. This seems to illustrate the point that not only is Prout's law not as yet absolutely over-turned, but that a heavy and...

Download or read book The Periodic Table written by Primo Levi and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 1996-10-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Periodic Table is largely a memoir of the years before and after Primo Levi’s transportation from his native Italy to Auschwitz as an anti-Facist partisan and a Jew. It recounts, in clear, precise, unfailingly beautiful prose, the story of the Piedmontese Jewish community from which Levi came, of his years as a student and young chemist at the inception of the Second World War, and of his investigations into the nature of the material world. As such, it provides crucial links and backgrounds, both personal and intellectual, in the tremendous project of remembrance that is Levi’s gift to posterity. But far from being a prologue to his experience of the Holocaust, Levi’s masterpiece represents his most impassioned response to the events that engulfed him. The Periodic Table celebrates the pleasures of love and friendship and the search for meaning, and stands as a monument to those things in us that are capable of resisting and enduring in the face of tyranny.

Download or read book Mendeleev on the Periodic Law written by Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the dawn of the nineteenth century, "elements" had been defined as basic building blocks of nature resistant to decomposition by chemical means. In 1869, the Russian chemist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev organized the discord of the elements into the periodic table, assigning each element to a row, with each row corresponding to an elemental category. The underlying order of matter, hitherto only dimly perceived, was suddenly clearly revealed. This is the first English-language collection of Mendeleev's most important writings on the periodic law. Thirteen papers and essays, divided into three groups, reflect the period corresponding to the initial establishment of the periodic law (three papers: 1869-71), a period of priority disputes and experimental confirmations (five papers: 1871-86), and a final period of general acceptance for the law and increasing international recognition for Mendeleev (five papers: 1887-1905). A single, easily accessible source for Mendeleev's principle papers, this volume offers a history of the development of the periodic law, written by the law's own founder.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Chemical Theories and Laws Vwiat classification of the principles of chemistry shall be adopted depends on what is now taken to be the purpose of the science. An examination of the progress of chemistry at different times, in the light of the knowledge we have to-day, seems to me to show that the main purpose of the science has always been the same. Chemistry has concerned itself in the past, as it concerns itself now, with the changes of material things; and, although the aspects of this study have been as varied as those of the transmutations of matter wherewith it deals, the essential object of the study, at all times, may be expressed in the language of to-day as being to describe, to set in due order, and to connect the changes of composition and the changes of properties which occur simultaneously in systems of homogeneous substances, and the conditions under which these changes proceed. The history of the advances which have been made towards attaining this object is the history of the principles of chemistry. The actions of our surroundings on our senses are spoken of as the properties of substances. If all the properties, except, it may be, the masses of any portions of a substance obtained by sifting or sorting that substance are the same.

Download or read book 150 Years of the Periodic Table written by Carmen J. Giunta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-04 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the origins and evolution of the periodic system from its prehistory to the latest synthetic elements and possible future additions. The periodic system of the elements first emerged as a comprehensive classificatory and predictive tool for chemistry during the 1860s. Its subsequent embodiment in various versions has made it one of the most recognizable icons of science. Based primarily on a symposium titled “150 Years of the Periodic Table” and held at the August 2019 national meeting of the American Chemical Society, this book describes the origins of the periodic law, developments that led to its acceptance, chemical families that the system struggled to accommodate, extension of the periodic system to include synthetic elements, and various cultural aspects of the system that were celebrated during the International Year of the Periodic Table.
Download or read book The Periodic Table written by Eric R. Scerri and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The periodic table of elements, first encountered by many of us at school, provides an arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, and divided into periodic trends. In this Very Short Introduction Eric R. Scerri looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the table, and shows how the deeper meaning of the table's structure gradually became apparent with the development of atomic theory and, in particular, quantum mechanics, which underlies the behaviour of all of the elements and their compounds. This new edition, publishing in the International Year of the Periodic Table, celebrates the completion of the seventh period of the table, with the ratification and naming of elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 as nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson. Eric R. Scerri also incorporates new material on recent advances in our understanding of the origin of the elements, as well as developments concerning group three of the periodic table. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
