William Prout (1785-1850) and his pioneering attempts to understand the nature of matter60 have been studied, as has Ladislaus Farkas (1904-1948) role in the establishment of physical chemistry in Israel.61 Some protagonists of physical chemistry in The Netherlands, J. H. Van t Hoff62 and Johannes van Laar (1860-1938),63 have been investigated, as has Johannes Diderik van der Waals (1837-1923) and his contributions to molecular science.64 Van t Hoff s decisive role in the development of chemical thermodynamics has also been examined.65...
