Abstract
THE standard text-books in advanced inorganic chemistry at the service of past generations presented the reader with, a gigantic jumble of disconnected data. One great unifying principle—the periodic classification of the elements—was indeed recognized; but it was admittedly riddled with exceptions. Small wonder that the majority of students, on reaching the research stage, preferred the severely systematic field of organic chemistry; order is always more attractive than chaos.
