About this title

Synopsis

Published on the occasion of the centenary of the periodic system of chemical elements, this book shows that the time for the discovery was ripe only after 1860, the year in which the first International Congress on Chemistry was held in Karlsruhe. Detailed attention is given to the preceding history, the contributions of six independent investigators, and the subsequent development of the periodic system up to the time of publication. Separate sections are devoted to the history of the various aspects of the periodic system, such as the transition metals, the rare-earth elements, the noble gases, and the actinides, as well as the discovery of new elements and radio-activity.
