Extract

The isomorphous replacement of one element by another, in a pair of crystalline salts, is usually accompanied by a substantial change in the molecular volume. This progression is exceptionally well illustrated in the 'eutropic' elements K, Rb, Cs, and Cl, Br, I, which formed the subject of the first part of this paper. It was there shown that the differences produced by interchanging these elements stood in the same ratio in all the salt-series, though the size of the differences varied with the acid radicle. The object of the present note is to draw attention to the existence of similarly constant (though different) ratios for the salts of O, S, Se, Te, and for the salts of Ca, Sr, Ba. The spacings in these compounds have recently been obtained by X-ray determinations, in many cases due to u M. Goldschlnidt and his co-workers, so that it is possible to verify the rule of proportional differences in these series, although the results do not possess an accuracy so high as that of densities measured by the pyknometer.
