...assume that the molecules, though extremely small,1 have some size and once that assumption is made, 1 If a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules would be about the size of cricket balls. laws are predicted which had not been discovered...

...chloride, the latter appearing as an insoluble white curdy substance ; or in symbols, HC1 + AgNO3 = HNO8 + AgCl. This illustrates the fact that the apparent...cubic inch of air were magnified until they would just pass through a very fine sieve (100 meshes to the inch), this fine sand of particles would suffice...

If a drop of water were magnified to the size of the...constituent atoms would be about the size of footballs. Or, to use a variation of this analogy, if the constituent atoms in a tumbler of water could all be...

...size of atoms, or rather of those simple combinations of different atoms called "molecules," by saying that if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules of the water would appear as large as cricket balls. They would be sufficiently far apart...

...the radius of an atom, assumed as spherical, is about 10~10 meter, or, as it has been expressed — if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the atoms in it might be expected to be about baseball size. But the "radius" of an electron is supposed...

...properties of the compound, are called molecules. So small are they that the late Lord Kelvin stated that if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, then with the same magnification, molecules would vary in size from marbles to cricket balls. Again,...

...necessary to know the actual size of the molecules, and the distances between them. Lord Kelvin used to say that if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the size of the molecules within it would be between that of small shot and of cricket balls. It has been...

...When a great scientist named Sir William Thomson was asked about the size of a molecule, h° replied: "If a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules would each occupy spaces greater than those filled by small shot and smaller than those occupied...

...mysteries when we were able to say that, on the basis of certain plausible considerations, it was probable that if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules would become as large as small shot. The discov\ \ Natural ery of the electron gave a fresh...
