Synopsis

Explore the science of radio-activity and how it reveals the hidden structure of matter, with clear experiments and practical measurement methods.

This classic work introduces radio-active substances and their connections to electricity and matter. It surveys how gas ionization, emanations, and the various radiations fit into a coherent view of atomic structure, while explaining practical methods used to observe and measure these effects. A second edition adds new chapters on the theory of successive changes and the links between transformation products, radiations, and emanations, offering both historical context and updated insights.

  • Learn how radio-activity is studied through electrical measurements and gas ionization
  • Understand the relationship between emanations and excited activity on surfaces
  • See how active deposits form, behave in acids, and concentrate on electrodes
  • Get a grounded overview of the theory behind transformations in radioactive substances
Ideal for readers of physics and chemistry who want a solid, accessible account of early 20th‑century discoveries and their practical implications.
