Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Nobel Laureates. In : Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science. September, November 1902. London: Printed by Taylor and Francis, 1902. Offered are the Near Fine September & November 1902 issues in a single fine modern buckram binding, gilt lettering spine. Original chipped, slightly trimmed…front wrappers are bound-in. Rutherford & Soddy's papers are complete in these two parts on pages 370-396 & 569-585. These are the epochal papers in which Rutherford and Soddy state and prove "Since, therefore radioactivity is at once an atomic phenomenon and accompanied by chemical changes in which new types of matter are produced, these changes must be occurring within the atom and the radioactive elements must be undergoing spontaneous transformation" (page 395). As stated in 'Printing and the Mind of Man' : "[Rutherford and Soddy]. put forward in 1902-3 the revolutionary theory that radio-activity is a by-product of the transmutation of one form of matter into another" (see PMM 411; DSB vol. 12, pp 26-27). Both authors were awarded Nobel prizes for their work with the radioactive elements, Rutherford in 1908 and Soddy in 1921. Hardcover. Near Fine.Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) Renowned chemist and physicist was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1908) "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances".Frederick Soddy (1877-1956) was a noted British chemist awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1921 for, in the words of the Nobel Committee: "His contribution to our knowledge of radioactive substances and his investigations into the origin and nature of isotopes" Indeed it is Soddy who gave the name "isotopes" to elements with identical chemical properties but different atomic weights.

Minor wear to extremities, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. First printing of this important paper introducing for the very first time the concept of isotopes" how to designate chemically identical elements with different atomic weights. This is also the first uses the term 'isotope' in print. This work would later award him the Nobel Prize in Physics. "To be able to refer generically to these active and inactive elements with identical chemical properties, Soddy introduced the technical term "isotope" in 1913.10 While chemically inseparable, active isotopes were distinguishable by their radioactive properties, and all isotopes differed in atomic weight. Soddy suggested that the 1912 metaneon of J. J. Thomson be considered "a case of isotopic elements outside the radioactive sequences."11 Following Soddy, Aston announced a partial separation in 1913 on this very basis. The connection between chemical properties and the periodic table became increasingly clarified with concurrent developments in the physics and chemistry of the nuclear atom, from the chemical side. Soddy proposed the alpha-ray rule in 1911, the key to the first of two locks. Applying his general principle that the common elements are mixtures of chemically inseparable elements "differing step-wise by whole units of atomic weight" specifically to the case of the radioelements, Soddy recognized that the expulsion of an alpha particle would result in a lighter element chemically inseparable from those occupying the "next but one" position in the periodic table. The second lock to the displacement law involved the beta transitions." (DSB)A rather indignant Ernest Rutherford responded [In the second paper]: the nucleus has "resultant" positive charge, he said, and as he elaborated, Rutherford came tantalizingly close to postulating the proton" (Nature Website).
