Abstract
The properties of the atoms are a periodic function of their masses, and the physical characteristics of the spectra of the elements appear to be an expression of the properties of the atoms; for there is undoubtedly an intimate connexion between the rays emitted by the self-luminous vapours of the elements and their chemical and physical properties.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
