The New ChemistryThe New Chemistry is a unique and fascinating book - a showcase for modern chemistry. It highlights the most important developments in chemistry over the past 30 years, covering the latest research trends in a wide range of fields, both theoretical and experimental. The book consists of 17 self-contained chapters, each covering a different topic in chemistry, ranging from the discovery of new elements and synthetic techniques to the design of drugs and materials, and each written by one of the world's leading chemists in that particular field. It includes contributions from several Nobel Prize winners and is copiously illustrated with photographs and explanatory diagrams. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will be of interest to scientists of all disciplines and will be useful as a reference text for anyone wanting to know more about modern chemistry. |

Page 10 - The calculation showed that we could expect to produce approximately one atom in each experiment! Adding immeasurably to the complexity of the experiment was the absolute necessity for the chemical separation of the one atom of element 101 from the 109 atoms of einsteinium in the target and its ultimate, complete chemical identification by separation with the now familiar ion-exchange method.
Page 8 - ... the energies of the two recoiling fragments from the neutron-induced fission of uranium. He placed a thin layer of uranium oxide on one piece of paper. Next to this he stacked very thin sheets of cigarette paper to stop and collect the uranium fission fragments. In the course of his studies he found there was another radioactive product of the reaction— one that did not recoil enough to escape the uranium layer as did the fission products. He suspected that this product was formed by the capture...

Page 4 - The greater number of philosophical persons to whom this question has been put, have answered in the affirmative. They agree with metals in opacity, lustre, malleability, conducting powers as to heat and electricity, and in'their qualities of chemical combination.

Similar to ARPEFS, but with a somewhat lower energy range. Similar to ISS, except that the main focus is on depth-profiling and composition. The momentum transfer in back-scattering collisions between nuclei is used to identify the nuclear masses in the sample, and the smaller, gradual momentum loss of the incident nucleus through...
