Chemistry in Space

Chemistry in Space presents an English translation of J.H. Van ’t Hoff’s influential work, 'dix Années Dans L’histoire D’une Théorie.' This historical treatise explores the development of stereochemistry, a field that examines the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules. Van ’t Hoff, a Nobel laureate, elucidates the foundational concepts and key experiments that shaped this branch of chemistry.This edition, translated by James Ernest Marsh, offers valuable insights into the scientific thought and experimental practices of the late 19th century. It is essential reading for historians of science, chemists, and anyone interested in the evolution of our understanding of molecular structure and its implications.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
