Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Theoretical Chemistry The author is fully convinced from his own experience as we.i as from that of his colleagues, that the complete mastery of the fundamental principles of the science is best attained through the solution of numerical examples. For this reason, typical problems have been appended to various chapters of the book. Numerous references to original papers have been given throughout, since the importance of literary research on the part of the student is conceded by all teachers to be of prime importance. While a brief account of radioactive phenomena might very properly be considered to lie within the scope of a general outline of theoretical chemistry, yet owing to the unparalleled growth of knowledge in this field during the last decade, the author has come to believe that a condensed statement of the main facts of radiochemistry would not. be of sufficient value to justify the effort involved in its preparation. In the original preparation of his lectures, and in their evolution into book form, the author has had frequent occasion to consult Nernst's "Theoretische Chemie," Ostwald's "Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Chemie," and Van't Hoff's "Vorlesungen ueber theoretische und physikalische Chemie." Among other books to which the author is especially indebted arc the following: - Le Blanc's "Lehrbuch der Elektrochemie," Daneel's "Elck-trochemie." Text books of Physical Chemistry edited by Sir William Ramsay, Bigelow's "Theoretical and Physical Chemistry." Jones' "Elements of Physical Chemistry," Reychler-Kuhn's "Physikalisch-chemische Theorieen," and Whetham's "Theory of Solution." In the preparation of the problems the author would record his indebtedness to Abegg and Sackur's "Physikalisch-chemische Rechenaufgaben," and to Morgan's "Elements of Physical Chemistry." It is a pleasure to acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered by Dr. Eleanor F. Bliss and Dr. Anna Jonas, who have read and revised the proof of the paragraphs treating of crystalline form. The index of titles and names has been prepared by the author's wife to whose untiring patience its completeness is due.
