The papers were published at the same time in German both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum Jac. Berzelius 2 p.12 "It was a giant work one of the most importent in the history of chemistry which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time to be sure but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius" p.45."In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances and thus was enabled to draw up in 1826 a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1810-20 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

981st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF EIGHT RARE OFFPRINTS by Linus Pauling detailing his prominent contributions to the general understanding of the nature of the chemical bond here bringing quantum mechanics to the solution of the nature of the chemical bonds that determine inorganic crystal structure. <br /> <br /> Collectively these papers represent Pauling's first works after his 1928 finding detailing a set of rules for working out probable crystalline structures from the X-ray diffraction patterns. In that paper and in these "Pauling was the first to enunciate an understanding of a physical interpretation of the bonds between - and the nature of - molecules and crystals from a chemical perspective" Bragg History of Science Website. ""The new field of x-Ray crystallography emerged after World War 1 where x-Rays reflected through crystals resulted in photographs. Pauling used x-Ray diffraction photography in the 1930s to analyze the crystal structure of inorganic molecules and to revolutionize the understanding of chemical bonds" Swedin Science in the Contemporary World 49. <br /> <br /> Early in his career Pauling set out to create 'A framework for understanding the electronic and geometric structure of molecules and crystals' Pauling. Pauling learned that "when X-rays are directed at a crystal some are knocked off course by striking atoms while others pass straight through as if there are no atoms in their path. The result is a diffraction pattern - a pattern of dark and light lines that reveal the positions of the atoms in the crystal Bragg. By using the technique of X-ray diffraction Pauling "determined the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms of many crystalline structures. Analyzing chemical structure became the central theme of his scientific work. To complement the experimental tool that X-ray analysis provided for exploring molecular structure Pauling turned to quantum mechanics as a theoretical tool. and his application of quantum theory to structural chemistry helped to establish the subject Britannica.

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

Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner".
