Chemistry Dalton

The atom and bond concepts dominate chemistry. Dalton postulated that atoms retained their identities even when in chemical combinations with other atoms. We know that their properties are sometimes transferable from one molecule to another for example, the incremental increase in the standard enthalpy of formation of a normal hydrocarbon per CHj group is —20.6 1.3 kJmol . We also know that more often there are subtle modifications to the electron density.

One might imagine that, with the advent of quantum mechanics and its application to chemistry, Dalton s atomic theory would have been reinforced. This has not happened. Quantum mechanics has been shown to account for the properties of isolated atoms and for the total properties of a molecular system. The increased understanding that would result from the discovery of a firm theoretical basis for Dalton s theory has not been obtained because of the lack of a quantum definition of an atom in a molecule. This is not to say that the concepts of atoms,and bonds do not appear in the quantum mechanical treatments of chemical systems. They do, but in the reverse manner to that described above. Rather than finding its quantum basis, the...

N/A Although Dalton s conception of the chemical atom arose from complex considerations, quite limited properties were needed to explain the quantitative data of chemistry. Dalton summarized his views of chemical reactions in 1808 ... 

John Dalton s earliest atomic theory originated in 1801 and was purely physical in nature. Its basis was Boyle s law and his own law of partial pressures (see next essay). But his truly fundamental breakthrough, which occurred in 1803, was to produce the modern paradigm that ties together everything we know today about chemistry. Dalton s atomic law was the culmination of the chemical revolution that had occurred during the preceding three decades. ...
