Book Description
Excerpt from A Guide to Elementary Chemistry for Beginners I know of but one way to teach a student how to acquire a real knowledge of nature, and that is, to fix his mind habit ually on things and events brought under his own eye, and direct him to the discovery of facts and principles for himself. The use of apparatus is, of course, indispensable if the student is thus to study phenomena instead of descriptions of phenomena, and the use of apparatus, by himself, is with out doubt the method which is most certain to stimulate his mind to the greatest activity. Laboratory study for students in high schools is rapidly growing in favor, but unfortunately, in many schools where chemistry is taught, the difficulties in the way of this method are still thought to be real. Even in these, chemistry to be truly useful should be presented as a study of phenomena, by experiments, instead of what some body has said about phenomena in books. I have therefore tried to construct a course of experiments suited to the use of the beginner, at his laboratory desk, and to the use of the teacher for his class of beginners, where facilities for students to work for themselves seem to be out of reach.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... agree with these in being soft, light, and combustible on water. Yet in some things they do agree quite closely. For example: Potassium forms the oxide K20 Copper" "Cu2O Silver" "Ag2O In these compounds the atoms of potassium, copper, and silver hold the same relation to oxygen. And the order of their atomic weights brings them together in the same group in the spiral. The Vacant Places.--There are many vacant places in the spiral: what is the meaning of these gaps? They lead us to think that the elements are not yet all discovered. When the table was first made there was a vacant place where gallium, Ga, now stands in the third group. Mendelejeff said that there ought to be an element whose "atomic weight is about 69, its specific gravity about 6, and its atomic volume about 11.5," to fill this gap. Afterward gallium was discovered. Its atomic weight proved to be 69.8, its specific gravity 5.9, and its atomic volume 11.8. From its vacant place in the table, Mendelejeff was able to give the properties of this metal before it had been discovered. He did the same thing for the element scandium, Sc, also in the third group. Possibly other elements are yet to be discovered by which other gaps will be filled. the analytical system. Classification Founded on Solubility.--We have found that hydrochloric acid will give a precipitate if mixed with a solution of a compound of silver, Ex. 193, but none if mixed with a solution of a compound of copper, Ex. 185. This is because silver chloride is insoluble in the liquid used, while copper chloride is soluble. Now all metals whose chlorides are insoluble, like that of silver, can be put with silver to form one group. Such differences in solubility throw the metals together into classes called the...

Understand Basic Chemistry Concepts
Author: Chris McMullenPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781479134632
Category : Chemistry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
EDITIONS: This book is available in paperback in 5.5" x 8.5" (portable size), 8.5" x 11" (large size), and as an eBook. This 5.5" x 8.5" edition is the most portable, while the details of the figures - including the periodic tables - are most clear in the large size and large print edition. However, the paperback editions are in black-and-white, whereas the eBooks are in color. OVERVIEW: This book focuses on fundamental chemistry concepts, such as understanding the periodic table of the elements and how chemical bonds are formed. No prior knowledge of chemistry is assumed. The mathematical component involves only basic arithmetic. The content is much more conceptual than mathematical. AUDIENCE: It is geared toward helping anyone - student or not - to understand the main ideas of chemistry. Both students and non-students may find it helpful to be able to focus on understanding the main concepts without the constant emphasis on computations that is generally found in chemistry lectures and textbooks. CONTENTS: (1) Understanding the organization of the periodic table, including trends and patterns. (2) Understanding ionic and covalent bonds and how they are formed, including the structure of valence electrons. (3) A set of rules to follow to speak the language of chemistry fluently: How to name compounds when different types of compounds follow different naming schemes. (4) Understanding chemical reactions, including how to balance them and a survey of important reactions. (5) Understanding the three phases of matter: properties of matter, amorphous and crystalline solids, ideal gases, liquids, solutions, and acids/bases. (6) Understanding atomic and nuclear structure and how it relates to chemistry. (7) VErBAl ReAcTiONS: A brief fun diversion from science for the verbal side of the brain, using symbols from chemistry's periodic table to make word puzzles. ANSWERS: Every chapter includes self-check exercises to offer practice and help the reader check his or her understanding. 100% of the exercises have answers at the back of the book. COPYRIGHT: Teachers who purchase one copy of this book or borrow one copy of this book from a library may reproduce selected pages for the purpose of teaching chemistry concepts to their own students.
