What helped make Mendeleev s system seem more plausible was the coincidental publication of Lothar Meyer s periodic table. Meyer had attended the 1860 Karlsruhe conference just as Mendeleev had, and, like Mendeleev, he had gone away convinced that there was some pattern that united the elements through atomic weights. He had sketched out an incomplete table of elements in his book Die modernen Theorien der Chemie (1864), and in 1868 he worked out a much more complete table. He did not publish this until 1870, by which time he was fully aware of Mendeleev s work. In addition to providing independent confirmation of Mendeleev s system, Meyer also added a supporting observation, showing that there was a periodic relationship between atomic number and atomic volume. Atomic volume represents the volume occupied by one mole of an element in its solid state. Meyer showed that atomic volume equaled atomic weight divided by the density of the solid. 

Thinking it Through Even though electron density extends far beyond the nucleus of an atom, the usual limit for measuring the size of the electron cloud includes about 90% of the total electron density. Then, rather than giving the volume, atomic size is often expressed by giving its atomic radius, which is proportional to the volume. There... 

We note here that for nanoscale systems in which the contribution to their energy (or other quantity) from the surface atoms is comparable with that from the bulk volume atoms the non-additivity exists forever. The surface energy is increased in times when one increases the number of particles in n times. That is why the question about the definition of temperature for nanoscale system is very intriguing not only from the point of view of its physical measurements but also from the estimations for the minimal length scale on which this intensive quantity exists (Hartmann et al., 2004). 

Meyer plots the atomic volume (atomic weight divided by density) of each element against its atomic weight and shows that elements whose chemical properties are similar appear in similar positions on the waves of the curve. Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleyev publishes the first periodic table for chemical elements. He writes, The properties of the elements are in periodic dependence upon their atomic weight. His table shows how the elements are related to each other and how increasing atomic weight affects their chemical reactivities. Gaps in the table indicate elements yet to be discovered and predict their properties. Mendeleyev coins the term transition element British chemist Sir William Perkin develops synthetic alizarin for manufacture from the madder plant.

Volume atom densities (r ) are important in dynamic SIMS (see Section 4.1.2) because, as discussed in Section 5.4.2, concentrations are invariably calculated in such units (atomic % and mass % are less commonly used owing to the confusion that can arise). These can be derived through similar arguments to those used above, i.e. for a-Fe case, the whole number of atoms within a unit cell is two and the volume is 0.0234 nm (a ), which provides a volume atomic density of 8.55 X 10 atoms/cm. Silicon on the other hand has a volume density of 4.99 X 10 atoms/cm. In the case of amorphous solids, volume atomic densities can be approximated from elemental mass densities via ...

The mechanical strength and elastic modulus of a substance are proportional to the sum of binding energy per unit volume. Atomic cohesive energy determines the thermal stability. Mechanical strength of a substance couples with its thermal stability closely.
