The Principles of Chemistry

Dmitri Mendeleev's The Principles of Chemistry is a classic that laid the foundation for the periodic table. The book is a detailed discussion of water and its compounds, hydrogen and oxygen, and their saline combinations. It includes Dalton's law, properties of gases, and atomic theory in the discussion of the chemistry of elements and their compounds. It is also interesting for its discussion of atomic weights of elements and how to arrange the periodic table-the work of Mendeleev. The book would serve well for the reader trying to understand the very earliest stages of modern chemistry with contributions that have shaped this particular field of science today.
