Chemical Periodicity


Book Description




The History of Research on Chemical Periodic Processes


Book Description

This book offers a survey of the historic development of selected areas of chemistry and chemical physics, discussing in detail the European, American and Russian approaches to the development of chemistry. Other key topics include the kinetics and non-linear thermodynamics of chemical reactions and mathematical modeling, which have found new applications in the theory of dynamical systems. The first observations of the periodicity of chemical reactions were lost in the mist of time. In the second half of the 19th century, the phenomenon of chemical periodicity was studied in relation to electrochemistry, solutions and colloids. Discovered in the late 19th century, Liesegang rings are still enigmatic and remain attractive for researchers. However, the discovery of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction marked the successful culmination of the efforts to find a true chemical oscillatory reaction. The book investigates chemical phenomena that were neglected in the past, but have been rediscovered, placing them into a new conceptual framework. For example, it notes that William Bray, who discovered the first oscillatory homogeneous reaction in 1921, was influenced by the first bio-mathematicians who predicted chemical oscillations in homogeneous systems.







Number Theory and the Periodicity of Matter


Book Description

This book presents a fully scientific account of the use of the golden ratio. It explores the observation that stable nucleides obey a number theory based general law. The discovery described in this book could be of seminal significance, also in other fields where the golden ratio is known to be of fundamental importance.




Chemistry 2e


Book Description

Chemistry 2e is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the two-semester general chemistry course. The textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. The book also includes a number of innovative features, including interactive exercises and real-world applications, designed to enhance student learning. The second edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Substantial improvements have been made in the figures, illustrations, and example exercises that support the text narrative. Changes made in Chemistry 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition.




The Periodic Table


Book Description

The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance traces the evolution and development of the periodic table, from Mendeleev's 1869 first published table and onto the modern understanding provided by modern physics.




Mendeleev on the Periodic Law


Book Description

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.

A-Level Study Guide Chemistry Ed H2.2


Book Description

This is an ebook version of the "A-Level Study Guide - Chemistry (Higher 2) - Ed H2.2" published by Step-by-Step International Pte Ltd. [ For the revised Higher 2 (H2) syllabus with first exam in 2017. ] This ebook gives concise illustrated notes and worked examples. It is intended as a study guide for readers who have studied the O-Level Chemistry or the equivalent. It contains material that most readers should want to take note of when attending formal lessons and/or discussions on the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level Higher 2 (H2) Chemistry. [As the Higher 1 (H1) Chemistry syllabus is a subset of the H2 Chemistry syllabus, this ebook is also suitable for readers studying Chemistry at the H1 level.] The concise notes cover essential steps to understand the relevant theories. The illustrations and worked examples show essential workings to apply those theories. We believe the notes and illustrations will help readers learn to "learn" and apply the relevant knowledge. The ebook should help readers study and prepare for their exams. Relevant feedbacks from Examiner Reports, reflecting what the examiners expected, are incorporated into the notes and illustrations where possible, or appended as notes (NB) where appropriate. It is also a suitable aid for teaching and revision.
