Physical geography

In this chapter, we shall explore the ghostly secondary images of the landscape, where the changes in various properties are depicted as changes in altitude. As this is in any case an imaginary kingdom, a land of chemists dreams, there need be no constraint on its portrayal except truth, and to the mind s eye the terrain may rise and fall according to the features we seek to portray. We have 

The kingdom plotted in terms of the masses of the atoms. We are viewing the kingdom from the northeast corner. The Southern Island lies in the distance. Hydrogen, in the right foreground, is barely visible above the waves. 

There are a few places where this trend in altitude will trip a careless walker. Here and there—in the Eastern Rectangle, between tellurium and iodine, and in the Isthmus, between copper and nickel—a dreaming foot will trip, because here the land falls away very slightly instead of rising. These tiny faults in the landscape clearly need 

The kingdom plotted in terms of the diameters of atoms. This view is from the same position as in fig. 3. The diameters are based on the lengths of the bonds the elements form, so the noble gases are not ascribed values in this view because they do not form bonds. 

Broadly speaking, the landscape of diameters rises from north to south and falls from west to east, but there are many exceptions. It is rather contrary to intuition, at first sight, that as atoms get heavier from northwest to southeast they also get smaller. A particularly important instance of this apparently bizarre trend is from west to east across the Isthmus, where the land sinks as we travel east and then climbs again into the Eastern Rectangle, where the fall resumes. Something is clearly at work in the

We have now assembled enough knowledge of the physical geography of the kingdom to embark on the first stages of an interpretation of this variation of a tangible property, the density. We have seen that masses increase from northwest to southeast across the kingdom, and in particular across the eastern part of the Western Desert. However, we have also seen—but have not explained—...
