This was the starting point of his complete new system of chemistry first briefly sketched in Recherches sur les lois de l’affinité 1801 and later developed into the comprehensive two volume Essai de statique chimique. Here he attempted to provide a proper basis for chemistry so that its experimental results could be viewed in the light of theoretical first principles. Berthollet developed a theory and a model adequate for the understanding and the interpretation of the rapidly growing body of chemical knowledge in his time. He was aware that the positive work of constructing a new theory had yet to be performed after the shock of Lavoisier’s criticism of the old chemistry.DSB.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1801 C. </em> unknown

Fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of an extremely importent paper in the histroy of chemistry as Frankland here introduced the concept of 'VALENCY' - he called it 'atomicity' - to explain the capacity of atoms to combine with other atoms. "This led not only to the Kekulé structures but also to the periodic table of Mendeléev since that table was based on the regular change of valence with atomic weight."Asimov."On May 10 1852 Frankland read to the Royal Society a paper on organic metallic compounds the paper offered in which he made the emperical observation that elements possessed fixed combining powers or "only room so to speak for the attachement of a fixed and definite number of the atoms of other elements." The expression "valence" or "Valency" began to be used by other chemists only after 1865 wheras Frankland tended to use the misleading term "atomicity".Frankland's teching position at the Royal College of Chemistry and his influence on the Department of Sciences and Art science examinations enembled him to spread the idea through the younger generation of British chemists."DSB V p. 126.The exact inception however of the theory of chemical valencies can be traced to an 1852 paper by Edward Frankland in which he combined the older theories of free radicals and "type theory" with thoughts on chemical affinity to show that certain elements have the tendency to combine with other elements to form compounds containing 3 i.e. in the three atom groups e.g. NO3 NH3 NI3 etc. or 5 i.e. in the five atom groups e.g. NO5 NH4O PO5 etc. equivalents of the attached elements. It is in this manner according to Frankland that their affinities are best satisfied. Wikepedia. </em> unknown
