The Principles of Chemistry, Volume II

This volume systematically presents inorganic chemical principles and the periodic relationships among the elements, combining experimental data and calculated atomic weights with tabular arrangements that correlate atomic mass to typical compounds and physical properties. It classifies oxides, salts, peroxides, and hydrogen compounds, and provides extensive tables of stoichiometries, specific gravities, atomic volumes, and melting points. The text highlights recurring patterns in composition and behavior across the elements, explains methods for determining atomic weights, and shows how observed regularities support chemical formulation and the prediction of element properties.
