Synopsis

Metal-ammonia compounds and the Werner view of complex formation offer a clear map of how metals bond with ammonia and other ligands, revealing a portable framework for understanding complex salts.

This section explains how ammonia molecules can attach directly to a metal atom, creating a new kind of valence beyond the ordinary bonds. It introduces the idea of coordination number, typically six, and shows how increasing NH3 around a metal changes its electrical behavior and leads to a family of related compounds. The material connects these ideas to real isomerism, distinguishing compounds that act as bases from neutral salts, and it links metal-ammonia chemistry to the broader world of hydrates and complex salts.


  • Learn how ammonia acts as a ligand and how it can be displaced by other molecules in a stepwise way.

  • See how the concept of coordination number helps explain differences in conductivity and reactivity among related compounds.

  • Explore examples of isomerism in metal-ammonia systems and how structure drives function.

  • Understand how hydrates relate to metal-ammonia salts and how water can alter ionization in a predictable pattern.



This material is ideal for readers seeking a cohesive, example-driven explanation of early coordination chemistry and its relation to complex salts and hydrates.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present edition represents a thorough revision of the work by theD utch author and the American collaborator. It profits by the authors experience with the frequent editions in other languages but is independent in composition. ery many of the descriptive portions have been rewritten, notably those on the sulphur oxides and acids, rare gases, nitrogen oxides and acids, sodium hydroxide and carbonate, radio-active elements and platinum, as well as the sections on thermochemistry, colloids and the iron-carbon system, while the subjects of stability and the reality of molecules and atoms furnish new material. The chapter on metal-ammonia compounds is reprinted as approved by Professor Werner for the third edition. Notwithstanding the appearance of differential formulae in the book, it is believed that a student who is unfamiliar with the calculus should have little difficulty in understanding the meaning and use of such formulae, provided he is willing to take the authors word for the solutions of the equations. Independent students may well be cautioned against regarding any text-book as infallible. Even in a book with a world market, such as this one enjoys, undergoing many revisions by the author and by collaborators in other nations, and being frequently reviewed critically by the journals, there will, probably, always be some textual errors and some passages whose lucidity could be impro-e(l. Readers can therefore render great service bjreporting all unsatisfactory passages to the publishers. Thanks are herewith expressed to my colleague. Professor H. ]I oNMOUTH Smith, for constant aid in detecting errors. References in the text toO rg.

About the Publisher

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
