Abstract
ONE of the fundamental contributions of chemistry to our knowledge of the properties of atoms is the conception of discrete valency bonds with definite directions in space. This conception rests upon an immense mass of experimental evidence, and its principal features must be retained in the new pictures of atoms and molecules which are now being developed on the basis of modern physical theories. The relation between the old and the new atom models was a notable feature of the discussion on “Stereochemistry” held by the Chemical Society on January 16.
