Arrhenius, insofar as his profession could be defined at all, began as a physicist. He worked with a physics professor in Stockholm and presented a thesis on the electrical conductivities of aqueous solutions of salts. A recent biography (Crawford 1996) presents in detail the humiliating treatment of Arrhenius by his sceptical examiners in 1884, which nearly put an end to his scientific career he was not adjudged fit for a university career. He was not the last innovator to have trouble with examiners. Yet, a bare 19 years later, in 1903, he received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. It shows the unusual attitude of this founder of physical chemistry that he was distinctly surprised not to receive the Physics Prize, because he thought of himself as a physicist. 

Professor Colin Russell, historian of science and emeritus professor at the Open University, gave me helpful counsel on the history of chemistry and showed me how to take a philosophical attitude to the disagreements that beset the relation between practising scientists and historians of science. I am grateful to him. 

Bamberger s arguments were based mainly on classical organic chemistry, e.g., formation of derivatives, whereas Hantzsch was already using physicochemical methods. It took Bamberger 18 years to abandon his negative attitude towards the diazoate stereoisomerism (Bamberger and Baudisch, 1912).

The content of a curriculum must be functional when dealing with societal activities necessary chemical concepts, skills and attitudes with respect to macro-micro thinking must be included. This can be derived from representative authentic tasks. The content of the curriculum should be considered as a chemical toolbox. The traditional content of the present chemistry curriculum, such as the stmcture of atoms, ionic theoiy, fundamental acid-base calculations, are not necessarily part of the chemical toolbox when addressing chemical and technological tasks. The validity of the toolbox (philosophical substmcture) is determined by the representative practices and tasks related to chemistry (cf need-to-know principle in context-based approaches). 

This attitude often evoked a response, mainly from non-British colleagues I could not do that I am an x-chemist and don t know anything about y-chemistry and z-chemistry . 

With regard to the chemical domain, the attitudes of chemical engineers were not as unambiguously favorable as might be expected at first (1 5). This is not to say that indifference or even hostility to chemistry were dominant features of chemical engineering, but the existence of these currents of... 

Such attitudes highlight a long-standing tension between the disciplines of physics and chemistry. How did boundaries come to be drawn, and redrawn, between the two fields or disciplines Who drew them What changing aims and strategies were used to distinguish chemistry and physics What should we make of the claim that physics has pride of place over chemistry in the logic or in the history of the sciences ...
