O knihe

Excerpt: ... ring, and the three rings are within a funnel; at first glance, there are three bodies in the funnel; on examination each of these is seen to consist of three, with other bodies, spheres, again within them. Apart from this, the composition is simple enough, all the ovoids being alike, and composed of a triplet, a septet and a duad. MAGNESIUM: 4 funnels of 108 atoms 432 Atomic weight 24.18 Number weight 432/18 24.00 Zinc (Plate IX , 2) also brings a new device: the funnel is of the same type as that of magnesium, while septets are substituted for the triplets, and 36 additional atoms are thus slipped in. Then we see four spikes, alternating with the funnels and pointing to the angles, each adding 144 atoms to the total. The spikes show the ten-atomed triangle, already met with in other metals, three very regular pillars, each with six spheres, containing two, three, four, four, three, two atoms, respectively. The supporting spheres are on the model of the central globe, but contain more atoms. Funnels and spikes alike radiate from a simple central globe, in which five contained spheres are arranged crosswise, preparing for the fully developed cross of cadmium. The ends of the cross touch the bottoms of the funnels. ZINC: 4 funnels of 144 atoms 576 4 spikes of 144 atoms 576 Central globe 18 ----- Total 1170 ----- Atomic weight 64.91 Number weight 1170/18 65.00 Cadmium (Plate IX , 3) has an increased complexity of funnels; the diagram shows one of the three similar segments which lie within the funnels as cylinders; each of these contains four spheres, three pillars and three ovoids, like the spike of zinc turned upside down, and the zinc ten-atomed triangle changed into three ten-atomed ovoids. The centre-piece is a new form, though prefigured in the central globe of zinc. CADMIUM: 3 segments of 164 atoms = 492 4 funnels of 492 atoms 1968 Central body 48 ----- Total 2016 ----- Atomic weight 111.60 Number weight 2016/18 112.00 The corresponding...
