Chemistry /chemical elements

The middle of the twentieth century marked the end of a long period of determining the building blocks of chemistry chemical elements, chemical bonds, and bond angles. The lists of these are not definitely closed, but future changes will be more cosmetic than fundamental. This made it possible to go one step further and begin to rationalize the strucmre of molecular systems, as well as to foresee the structural features of the compounds to be synthesized. The crucial concept is based on the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation and on the theory of chemical bonds and resulted in the spatial structure of molecules. The great power of such an approach was first proved by the construction of the DNA double helix model by Watson and Crick. The first DNA model was built from iron spheres, wires, and tubes.

It graces the walls of lecture halls and laboratories of all types, from universities to industry. It is one of the most powerful icons of science. It captures the essence of chemistry in one elegant pattern. The periodic table provides a concise way of understanding how all known chemical elements react with one another and enter into chemical bonding, and it helps to explain the properties of each element that make it react in such a fashion. 

Basic chemical element The original and still present meaning of element or principle in chemistry is the basic sub-stance behind chemical stuffs, only implicitly defined through a conservation law in chemical reactions. 

Despite more than 200 years of sulfur research the chemistry of elemental sulfur and sulfur-rich compounds is still full of white spots which have to be filled in with solid knowledge and reliable data. This situation is particularly regrettable since elemental sulfur is one of the most important raw materials of the chemical industry produced in record-breaking quantities of ca. 35 million tons annually worldwide and mainly used for the production of sulfuric acid.

The development of chemistry itself has progressed significantly by analytical findings over several centuries. Fundamental knowledge of general chemistry is based on analytical studies, the laws of simple and multiple proportions as well as the law of mass action. Most of the chemical elements have been discovered by the application of analytical chemistry, at first by means of chemical methods, but in the last 150 years mainly by physical methods. Especially spectacular were the spectroscopic discoveries of rubidium and caesium by Bunsen and Kirchhoff, indium by Reich and Richter, helium by Janssen, Lockyer, and Frankland, and rhenium by Noddack and Tacke. Also, nuclear fission became evident as Hahn and Strassmann carefully analyzed the products of neutron-bombarded uranium.

The interstellar medium is thus a chemically diverse medium fed nearly all of the chemical elements by supernova explosions. Conditions in the interstellar medium produce a cocktail of molecules that ultimately find themselves back on the surface of planets during the formation of the new star and solar system. Does the interstellar medium seed life with molecules from space The nature of interstellar medium chemistry might then add credibility to the formation of life in many places within the Universe and act as a panspermia model for the origins of life. 

Loring published chemistry books—Studies in Valency (1913), Atomic Theory (1921), Definition of the Principle of Equivalence (1922), and The Chemical Elements (1923). During the brief existence of the Alchemical Society, he published twenty articles (eight of them lead articles) in Chemical News on such subjects as atomic weight, the radio-atoms, the evolution of chemical elements, and a five-part Introduction to the Theory of Relativity. He also published seven correspondences in the journal, and Chemical News reviewed his Studies in Valency positively.
