The determination of the density of charcoals by immersion in liquids has revealed a singular fluctuation of the apparent density with the nature of the liquid employed. The data obtained by Cude and Hulett J.A.G.S. XLii. 391, 1920), Harkins and Ewing ihid. XLiii. 1794,1921), and Williams Proc. Roy. Sog. A, xcviii. 224, 1920), are summarised in the following table, together with the compressibilities of the liquids for comparison. [Pg.174]

The term cosmochemistry apparently derives from the work of Victor Goldschmidt (Fig. 1.6), who is often described as the father of geochemistry. This is yet another crossover and, in truth, Goldschmidt also established cosmochemistry as a discipline. In 1937 he published a cosmic abundance table based on the proportions of elements in meteorites. He used the term cosmic because, like his contemporaries, he believed that meteorites were interstellar matter. Chemist William Harkins (1873-1951) had formulated an earlier (1917) table of elemental abundances - arguably the first cosmochemistry paper, although he did not use that term. As explained in Chapter 3, the term solar system abundance is now preferred over cosmic abundance, although the terms are often used interchangeably. [Pg.10]

From about 1915, a new generation of scientists attempted to use the new physics to understand how elements were formed and why the stars shine. In this work, and especially with regard to the question of element formation, chemists played a role that for a period was as important as that played by physicists and astronomers. Several leading physical chemists, including Svante Arrhenius, Walther Nernst, Jean Perrin, and William Harkins, were interested in astronomy and cosmology and contributed to the new phase of astrochemistry. However, they worked individually and independently, and their research formed neither a recognized subdiscipline nor the nucleus of a scientific subcommunity. [21]... [Pg.164]

On Harkins, see R.S. Mulliken, William Draper Harkins, 1873-1951, Biographical Memoirs of Members of the National Aca-damy of Science 47 (1975) 49-81 and G. B. Kauffman, William Draper Harkins (1873-1951) A controversial and neglected physical chemist, Journal of Chemical Education 62 (1985) 758-761. In a letter to Bertram Boltwood of February 28, 1921, Rutherford described Harkins as moderately sound and a man of intelligence, but added that I wish he did more experimenting and spent less time in theorising and in endeavouring to cover every possible idea. Quoted in L. Badash (ed.), Rutherford and Boltwood Letters on Radioactivity (New Haven, 1969), 343. [Pg.185]

The first indication that the periodicity of atomic matter depends on the proton neutron ratio was discovered by William Harkins, a decade before the discovery of the neutron. He found that the ratio A — Z)/A never exceeds 0.62 for any stable nuclide. More precisely, it can be shown that the neutron... [Pg.149]

Nucleation in emulsion polymerization has been a matter of controversial discussion because for more than five decades no direct experimental data on the nucleation process were available. Discussions were mainly centered on the question of the role of emulsifying agents, in particular on the role of micelles as precursors of polymer particles. Micellar nucleation theory, as it was expressed by Smith-Ewart (77) on the baseis of ideas developed by William Harkins (78-80), states ... [Pg.3687]

During his time in the United States, Frumkin not only gave lectures to the staff and students of the University of Wisconsin but also toured many other universities. In this way he met many important American scientists and actively discussed their work with them. For example, at the University of Chicago, he visited the Laboratory of William Draper Harkins (December 28, 1873-March 7,1951) and also met with Arthur Holly Compton (September 10, 1892-March 15, 1962). In Princeton, he discussed the polymerization of unsaturated compotmds with Hugh Stott Taylor (6 February 1890-17 April 1974) and at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he discussed the field of electrocapillary phenomena with Karl Ferdinand Herzfeld (February 24, 1892-June 3, 1978). In Philadelphia, he was delighted to meet George Borisovich Kistyakovsky (1900-1982), a chemist with Ukrainian-Jewish roots. [Pg.59]

It is remarkable how the work of William Harkins on the periodicity of matter, dating from the same era, also remained unnoticed and dormant for decades. Whereas Mendeledff was acclaimed for postulating the properties of undiscovered elements on the basis of his periodic law, Harkins, who characterized seven unknown nuclides on the basis of a more fundamental periodic law, has been forgotten. He was the first to notice, before discovery of the neutron, that the ratio A — Z)lA for known nuclides never exceeds 0.62 [3], later identified more accurately as the golden ratio, r = 0.61803... [4]. [Pg.163]

William Albert Zisman was an American chemist and geophysicist, arguably one of the greatest figures in surface science, and a worthy successor of surface science legends like Langmuir, Rideal and Harkins. He had worked for many years in the US Naval Research Laboratory, and at some point he was the head of the entire Chemistry Division. A Chair of Science was created for him in 1969 to honour his scientific achievements. [Pg.124]
