and its relation to other substances This book is therefore aimed at teachers and students of chemistry, and it will also appeal to practising chemists. Therefore, an analysis of the developments over the period of just years provides an almost CHEMISTRY is the science of the ultimate composition and conA stitution of matter, of the mutual reaction between two or more. substances, and of the influence of factors such as change of temper ature, pressure, or extent of surface upon the stability of a substance. Many of these ideas started just at the beginning of the century and reached a certain maturity by its end. While the lastyears has seen the appearance of a large number of specialist scholarly publications on the history of chemistry, there has been little written in the way of an introductory overview of the subject Vernon Harcourt, a leading Brit ish physical chemist and a pioneer of the study of reaction kinetics, had earlier called for the need for more atten tion in the universities to the teaching of the principles of chemistry and less concern with the accumulation of facts and the making of new organic compounds Chemistry took its present scientific form in theth century, when careful quantitative experiments by Lavoisier, Proust, and Dalton resulted in the law of definite proportions, the law of conservation of mass, and the law of multiple proportions, which laid the groundwork for Dalton’s atomic theory of matter THE HISTORY OF CHEMISTRY* By Professor JOHN JOHNSTON YALE UNIVERSITY CHEMISTRY is the science of the ultimate composition and con-A stitution of matter, of Covering alchemy, early-modern chemistry, pneumatic chemistry, and Lavoisier’s reinterpretation of chemical change, the rise of organic and physical chemistry, and the While the lastyears has seen the appearance of a large number of specialist scholarly publications on the history of chemistry, there has been little written in the way of an This new book provides an overview of the subject from the earliest times to the present and includes results of recent research into the history of chemistry The History of Chemistry, after a theory of combustion had been introduced by Beccher and Stahl, becomes much more important. He developed the basic ideas for the The short history of chemistry presented in this article particularly examines the evolution of concepts developed in the nineteenth century. By BC, civilizations used technologies that would eventually form the basis of the Major progress was made in putting chemistry on a solid foundation when Robert Boyle () began his research in chemistry. It now shook off the trammels of alchymy, The timelines on the history of chemistry should provide a historical overview, which allows a quick orientation in the historical development of the diverse branches of Chemistry took its present scientific form in theth century, when careful quantitative experiments by Lavoisier, Proust, and Dalton resulted in the law of definite proportions, This Introduction outlines the remit of this VSI to describe how explanations were found for the metamorphosis of materials and new transmutations were discovered, studied, and The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present.
