A bold, historically important work that argues for the Radical Theory in chemistry.
This edition presents the author’s challenging view of acids, bases, and salts, grounded in experimental facts and careful reasoning.
The book surveys major ideas about radicals, atomic measures, and the way compounds are formed. It frames debates among early chemists and explains how a radical-based view could reshape the understanding of organic and inorganic chemistry. The contents show a broad program, from naming and classifying salts to the theory’s implications for oxidation, hydration, and the construction of formulae. Readers will encounter critical discussions, historical context, and a practical focus on reading chemical formulas clearly.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the prevailing theories of chemistry and posits a simpler, more comprehensive approach to understanding chemical compounds, particularly regarding the nature of acids, bases, and salts. The author claims that the foundational ideas of chemistry are flawed due to reliance on false hypotheses and presents evidence against the prevailing ideas that water contains only one atom of hydrogen and each of its two elements, that elementary atoms combine in multiple proportions, that salts contain acids and bases, and that such things as sesquioxides, polybasic and conjugated acids exist. This book presents a cohesive theory based on combining radicals, a method for determining atomic measures and specific gravities of compound gases from their formulas alone, and a theory for the origin and metamorphoses of organic radicals. It also proposes a systematic nomenclature applicable to every description of chemical compound. This book rejects the prevailing theories of chemistry as inadequate and presents new theories to improve and simplify chemical understanding, especially in the field of organic chemistry.
