BRISCQE Professor of Chcmixtry, Indiana University FIRST EDITION McGRAW-HILL BOOK COMPANY, INC. NEW YORK AND LONDON 1935 PREFACE The day when chemistry dealt with atoms and molecules as the ultimate divisions of matter is past. The chemist of today must look beyond these forms to consider the nature and even the structures of the electrons, protons, neutrons, positrons, etc., which compose them. In whatever field of chemistry one is engaged, or is most interested, knowledge gf the structure of matter is becoming more and more essential for an understanding of the work that is done and the books that are written, in the chosen field. This knowledge has been revealed very rapidly during the last twenty years. The physical and mathematical concepts of electrons, atoms, and matter in general attending this growth of knowledge have risen from many sources. They have followed one another in rapidsuccession and some of them have been associated with radically different points of view for these reasons, therefore, many of the more recent theories appear formidable, indeed, to those of us who are unacquainted with the facts and developments upon which they are based. Although science has been enriched enormously, during these early years of the twentieth century, in the physics and chemistry of matter, many chemists in industry and many students of chemistry in the universities and colleges do not find all this newly acquired information in an available form...
