...PO01, CrO, CO01, CrO,Ck COH, THE BASIS OF FACT. 233 they represent. The symbol H2O, for example, shows that a molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Remember that this symbol is not the expression of a mere hypothesis, but represents the...

...water, the molecule has the same composition as the mass of the compound, but, as will be shown, this molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The atoms are held together by chemism, the molecules by cohesion. Now there are good reasons, which...

...value for an atom of hydrogen, 0 for an atom of oxygen, and the formula H,0 denotes that a particle or molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The results of recent investigations have silenced or converted the cautious opponents of these bold...

...fact is indicated by the use of numerals placed immediately after the symbol to be multiplied : thus, a molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. iheformu/a for water is therefore H2O. One molecule of ammonia, consisting of an atom of nitrogen with...

...water, the molecule has the same composition as the mass of the compound ; but, as will be shown, this molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The holding together of the two atoms is a chemical act. That which holds the molecule together is...

...combine with one another. For example, since two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen, water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. He cannot conceive how anyone can be of a different opinion, and he engages in controversy with Thomson,...

...of hydrogen the atomic weight of hydrogen would be 2.02 (O = 16). It may be possible, however, that water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen or of one atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen, etc. In the first case the atomic weight of hydrogen...
