Matter And Energy (1912)

By Frederick Soddy

Book Overview

Matter and Energy is a book written by Frederick Soddy, a British chemist and Nobel laureate, in 1912. The book is a comprehensive study of the fundamental concepts of matter and energy, exploring their relationship and interdependence. Soddy's work is based on the principles of modern physics, and he presents a clear and concise explanation of the concepts of matter and energy, including their properties, behavior, and interactions.The book is divided into three main sections. The first section deals with the properties of matter, including its atomic structure, chemical properties, and the nature of the elements. The second section discusses the concept of energy, including its various forms, such as kinetic, potential, and thermal energy. Soddy also explores the laws of thermodynamics and their implications for the behavior of matter and energy.The third section of the book focuses on the relationship between matter and energy, including the concept of mass-energy equivalence and the role of energy in chemical reactions. Soddy also discusses the implications of his work for the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology.Overall, Matter and Energy is a groundbreaking work that helped to establish the foundations of modern physics and chemistry. Soddy's clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to a wide range of readers, from students of science to professional researchers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
