Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of molecular volumes and their relationship to the structure of atoms and molecules. The author delves into the groundbreaking Lewis-Langmuir theory of valence and atomic structure, a cornerstone of modern chemistry. The book examines how this theory explains the behavior of molecules and how their volumes can be used to predict their properties. Using the insights of this theory, the author investigates the volumes of various compounds and how they relate to the specific arrangements of electrons surrounding the atoms' nuclei. The book explores the concept of "isosteres," groups of atoms that share the same electronic structure, and their implications for molecular volume. The author examines a wide array of compounds, including methane, ammonia, water, ethylene, acetylene, nitrogen, oxygen, and various hydrocarbons, to illustrate these principles. Through detailed analysis and careful comparison of observed and calculated volumes, the author presents compelling evidence that the volume of a molecule is primarily determined by the arrangement of its electrons, not just the types of atoms present. This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between molecular structure and volume, revealing the underlying principles governing their behavior.
