Publisher's Synopsis
Avogadro and Dalton: The Standing in Chemistry of Their Hypotheses is a book written by Andrew Norman Meldrum in 1906. The book explores the contributions of two famous chemists, Amedeo Avogadro and John Dalton, and their hypotheses that revolutionized the field of chemistry. Meldrum provides a detailed analysis of the works of Avogadro and Dalton, highlighting their significant contributions to the development of modern chemistry. He examines the laws and principles proposed by both scientists, including Avogadro's hypothesis of equal volumes and Dalton's atomic theory. The book delves into the historical context in which these hypotheses were formulated, and the challenges that the scientists faced in gaining acceptance for their ideas. Meldrum also discusses the impact of their hypotheses on the development of chemistry as a science, and how they paved the way for further discoveries and advancements.Avogadro and Dalton: The Standing in Chemistry of Their Hypotheses is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of chemistry. It provides a comprehensive overview of the contributions of two of the most influential chemists of all time, and their lasting impact on the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
