Notebook containing a series of 14 lectures on atomic structure

Scope and Content

A file containing drafts of fourteen lectures by Nevil Sidgwick on atomic structure. The lectures are as follows: 'The nature of the non-polar link' (Faraday Society, 23 June 1923); 'The Bohr atom and the periodic law.' (September 1923); 'Co-ordination and covalency.' (Cambridge Chemical Society, 1923); 'The constitution of mordant dyes' (September 1923; attached to this lecture is a covering letter to 'Robinson' [presumably the chemist Robert Robinson] asking for critical comments); 'Effective atomic number.' (Alembic, November 1923); 'The Bohr atom and covalency'; 'The co-ordinate link in organic chemistry.' (Manchester Chemical Society, 13 October 1924); an untitled paper lacking Pages 1-12, for which only pages 13-28 remain; 'The measurement of the vapour pressures of aqueous salt solutions by the freezing point of nitrobenzine' (with Elinor K. Ewbank) (J.Chem.Soc., 125, p. 2268); 'Structure of the atom.' (May 1921); 'Structure of the atom.' (British Museum, September 1922); 'Structural chemistry and the Bohr atom.' (S.T., April 1923); 'The nature of nonpolar (covalent) linkage.' (Faraday Society, 20 May 1923). This file also contains a list of 'Misc. lectures on atomic structure' with dates and places of delivery entitled 'My papers' and a letter to Sidgwick from Robert Robinson of the Victoria University of Manchester dated 22 October 1923.
