Abstract
PROF. EPHRAIM has written a very modern “Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry,“ in which the names of Rutherford and Bohr appear in the twelfth line of the text, whilst Laue and the Braggs appear on p. 12 Of Chapter i. This preliminary chapter on atomic structure is followed by three chapters on the properties of the elements. These deal with the periodic system and with allotropy in its various forms, including the colloidal forms of the elements and the special manifestations of allotropy as they are developed in individual elements. Two general chapters are then devoted to the preparation of elements, under the convenient headings of non-metals and metals. The succeeding groups of chapters deal with halogencompounds, oxides of hydrogen and of the metals, compounds of sulphur, selenium, and tellurium, the nitrogen, phosphorus and arsenic group, and the elements of the fourth group (with boron), whilst a final section describes “The Rare Earths, Alloys and Radioactivity.”
