Excerpt from Atomic Form With Special Reference to the Configuration of the Carbon Atom
At the present time the constitution of the Atom is the subject of physical theories which are widely separa ted from the ideas which have been set out in this book, and many persons may be disposed to lay it aside as being inconsistent with the latest advances of scientific thought. The author asks for a more impartial con sideration of this subject so much has yet to be dis covered, so many problems have yet to be elucidated, that no Theory should be rejected Which helps in any way the consideration of these problems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores atomic form and structure, particularly as it relates to carbon molecules and their ability to form distinct compounds. The author's position is that the geometric forms of atoms, and in particular the tetrahedral structure of carbon, account for the ways in which atoms bond and combine with one another. The author traces out the implications of this theory of atomic form across a wide range of chemical compounds to support this idea. These include an examination of the nature of benzene and phenomena related to it, the allotropic forms of solid carbon, and the Law of Even Numbers that the author proposes governs the formation of certain compounds. The author proposes geometric forms for monovalent and divalent atoms, and considers how these relate to questions of atomic valency and bonding.
