Add to basketCondition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. 2 Volume Set, Extra Shipping Fees may apply, please inquire. Very good clean copy in (faded) red cloth binding. Figures and tables interspersed throughout the text. Frontispiece (Volume I) is a picture of Lavoisier. Mendeleev's work on this book led him to the discovery of the periodic law of t…he elements by which the elements are grouped by atomic weight and physical properties. Despite the work's great importance, it was two decades before an English translation appeared. . Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Siberia, on February 7, 1834 (ns) and died on January 20, 1907 at the age of 73. Mendeleev's greatest accomplishment was the stating of the Periodic Law and the development of the Periodic Table. From early in his career, he felt that there was some type of order to the elements, and he spent more than thirteen years of his life collecting data and assembling the concept, initially with the idea of resolving some of the chaos in the field for his students. Mendeleev was one of the first modern-day scientists in that he did not rely solely on his own work but rather was in correspondence with scientists around the world in order to receive data that they had collected. He then used their data along with his own data to arrange the elements according to their properties.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. In Russian. Short description: Lifetime Edition. Mendeleev, D. ? Principles of Chemistry. 5th Edition. St. Petersburg: V. Demakov Printing House, 1889. Principles of Chemistry is the first textbook in which the Periodic Law became the basis for the study of inorganic chemistry. The fifth edition (1889…) is considered one of the most fundamental lifetime reissues, as Mendeleev personally worked on expanding the content for each new edition: inorganic chemistry in this edition is systematically presented on the basis of the periodic law; the doctrine of chemical equilibria was expanded (taking into account the works of Berthollet and Saint-Claire Deville); the chapter on solutions was supplemented with the latest research of Mendeleev himself as well as van ?t Hoff; and the data on elements were updated. This edition also includes portraits of the founders of chemistry (Lavoisier and Dalton). [ Osnovy himii]. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available.

Mendelejeff's paper: pp. 969-972. Titlepage lightly browned and with a punched stamp in lower margin. Otherwise clean and fine. First apperance of…this importent paper which established that Gallium is identical with Eka-aluminum (the missing element between Aluminum and Indium) in Mendelejeff's periodic table. The properties of the new element corresponded well with those predicted. A bitter contorversy was raised between the discoverer of Gallium, Lecog de Boisbaudran and Mendelejeff. "The discovery of the three elements predicted by Mendeleev was, however, of decisive importance in the acceptance of his law. In 1875 Lecoq de Boisbaudran, knowing nothing of Mendeleev?s work, discovered by spectroscopic methods a new metal, which he named gallium. Both in the nature of its discovery and in a number of its properties gallium coincided with Mendeleev?s prediction for eka-aluminum, but its specific weight at first seemed to be less than predicted. Hearing of the discovery, Mendeleev sent to France "Zametka po povodu otkrytia gallia" (the paper offered) ("Note on the Occasion of the Discovery of Gallium"), in which he insisted that gallium was in fact his eka-aluminum. Although Lecoq de Boisbaudran objected to this interpretation, he made a second determination of the specific weight of gallium and confirmed that such was indeed the case. From that moment the periodic law was no longer a mere hypothesis, and the scientific world was astounded to note that Mendeleev, the theorist, had seen the properties of a new element more clearly than the chemist who had empirically discovered it. From this time, too, Mendeleev?s work came to be more widely known"(DSB).Parkinson Breakthroughs" 1875 C.

Add to basketSt.-Pétersbourg [Saint Petersburg], Eggers [for the Académie Impériale des Sciences de St.-Pétersbourg], 1861. Folio (32.8 x 24.4 cm). 6 pp. (numbered 245-250). Original printed wrappers. = Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) was a Russian chemist known for formulating the periodic law and creating a version of the periodic t…able of elements. He used the periodic law not only to correct the then-accepted properties of some known elements, such as the valence and atomic weight of uranium, but also to predict the properties of three elements that were yet to be discovered (germanium, gallium and scandium). Between 1859 and 1861, he worked on the capillarity of liquids and the workings of the spectroscope in Heidelberg. Later in 1861, he published a textbook named Organic Chemistry. This won him the Demidov Prize of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences. a little-known fact is that Mendeleev, during the same period, made a first attempt to a chemical classification. On 2 August 1861 he read before the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Saint Petersburg an essay on a theory of the limits of organic combinations (this paper), noting homologies in the properties of series of organic molecules of similar built. Evidently, his developing sense of organizing chemical elements according to analogies in their intrinsic properties started here, only later to become expanded to the periodic table of chemical elements which made him world-famous. Uncut. Contemporary label of the French bookseller Chevreuil in Paris mounted on the front wrapper, top edge; some minor, marginal damp-staining and spotting, otherwise very good, as issued.

Contact seller5-star sellerNone. Condition: None. [2], 160, 80 pp., 14 folding plates, printed separately at the cartographer A.Iliyin in Saint-Petersburg. Contemporary quarter-leather binding. Slightly foxed. Pre-revolutionary stamps of Tiflis Arsenal on the title page, p.1 and front endpapers. The most important Mendeleev's work on the aeronautics. His…interest in the topic has emerged in 1850s, when he finished up his dissertation 'On the Specific Volumes' (1856), after which he suggested that to prove the theories from the work it's important to get to upper atmosphere. This led to the project of aerostat that Mendeleev presented in 1875 with the purpose to go to the stratosphere where he designed a cabin for the researcher, supplied with the compressed air. Later he even proposed the plan for 10-15 experimental flights but 30 000 rubles needed for that were not found. In 1878 he has made his first air flight in Paris, on Giffard airship, and met with Dupuy de Lôme and then with James Glaisher in London. Coming back home Mendeleev finished this work, which became the first work in Russian on the subject. The founding father of modern aerodynamics Nikolay Zhukovsky (1847-1921) later claimed that this book 'became the foundation for the later development of the air flying and the ballistics'. In 1880 Mendeleev finds the 7th department of Russian Technical Society, dedicated to the aeronautics. In 1887 Mendeleev undertook the famous flight on the hot air balloon near Klin to witness the full solar eclipse. The weather conditions were poor and he was suggested not to participate, but instead the scientist insisted and decided to fly by himself, as the balloon was not capable to carrying another person. Later he claimed that he did so to prove that the scientists are capable of putting their life at danger for the sake of their cause and also wanted to prove that to control the aerostat is easier than ride on the unfamiliar horse. However after Mendeleev has finished his observation and was ready to land the hot air balloon, it turned out that the robe that held the relief valve is tied up and to untie the knot he had to climb over the basket to do so. Calmly done so, Mendeleev managed to land the aerostat safely. Being passionate about the air flying throughout his whole life, Mendeleev later helped both Zhukovsky and Tsiolkovsky in the beginning of their scientific careers. In 'On the Resistance of the Fluids and the Air Flying' he states ''Russia doesn't have that much access to the world oceans as other great countries do. But Russia does have the vast ocean of air. That's why we need to bloodlessly conquer it and by doing it we could start the epoch of the new education''.
