Traube, Isidor

Twenty years later, Isidor Traube, professor of physical chemistry at Berlin s Technische-Hochschule, distinguished between an inner atomic volume corresponding to the material core of the atom and an outer volume that included an atmosphere of bound ether the whole of the molecule then moved in a larger "co-volume" of free ether.41 Farther still from mainstream nineteenth-century chemistry, Karl Pearson developed a mathematical theory of "aether squirts," setting up a quantitative measure of chemical affinity in terms of the pulsation periods of the squirts.42... 

Some aspects of the history of colloid chemistry have been explored. There is a study of Isidor Traube (1860-1943), highlighting his work on molecular volumes of pure liquids and particularly on the apparent molar volumes of dissolved molecules...
