Excerpt from The Atom and the Bohr Theory of Its Structure, an Elementary Presentation
The new quantum theory of Planck was proving itself very powerful in overcoming grave difficulties in the theory of radiation. The time thus seemed ripe for a comprehensive investigation of the fundamental problem of physics - the constitution of matter, and an explanation in terms of simple general laws of the physical and chemical properties of the atoms of the elements.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a fascinating journey into the world of atoms and molecules, exploring the development of our understanding of these fundamental building blocks of matter. The author examines how the concept of the atom, first proposed by ancient philosophers like Democritus, evolved through centuries of scientific inquiry, eventually becoming a cornerstone of modern chemistry. The narrative delves into how the atomic theory revolutionized our understanding of chemical reactions, explaining the formation of molecules, the concept of valence, and the periodic law of elements. The author also explores the role of molecular theory in explaining the properties of gases, introducing the kinetic theory and its implications for understanding heat and energy. The book then unveils how the discovery of electrons, ions, and the nuclear atom, along with the rise of the quantum theory, led to a deeper and more complex understanding of atomic structure. The author skillfully weaves together the historical development of scientific ideas with the practical applications of atomic and molecular theories, offering readers a comprehensive and engaging account of the intricate world of matter at its most fundamental level. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
