Sobre este artículo
First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine Condition/No Dust Jacket. Clean brown covers with gilt lettering on front and spine, lightly rubbed over joints, spine-ends and corners, sound binding, prize plate for "Rugby Engineering Society Session 1907-8 Williams Premium awarded to H O Eurich" and another small pasted label, clean black end-papers, clean pages. Advertisements and catalogue at rear. Contains black and white illustrations. From 1904 to 1914 Soddy was lecturer in physical chemistry and radioactivity in the University of Glasgow. Here he did much practical chemical work on radioactive materials. During this period he evolved the so-called "Displacement Law", namely that emission of an alpha-particle from an element causes that element to move back two places in the Periodic Table. His peak was reached in 1913 with his formulation of the concept of isotopes, which stated that certain elements exist in two or more forms which have different atomic weights but which are indistinguishable chemically.
In 1914 he was appointed Professor of Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen, but plans for research were hampered by the war. In 1919 he became Dr. Lees Professor of Chemistry at Oxford University, a post he held until 1937 when he retired, on the death of his wife.
