Excerpt from Elements of Inorganic ChemistryThe physical properties Of substances are treated rather more fully than in the earlier text-books, since the tendency today, introduced by physical chemistry, is to bring chemistry and physics more closely together, rather than to separate them as two distinct sciences. The physical properties Of a substance are taken up after its chemical properties, in order that the teacher may conveniently omit more or less Of this part of the text if the pupil is not sufficiently advanced to properly appreciate its meaning.The experiments are placed at the ends of chapters rather than in the body of the text or at the end of the book. By this means the text is made continuous and more readable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
