Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chimie Inorganique Elementaire: Lecons Professees a la Faculte de Medecine
On a longtemps considere l'affinite comme une force speciale, presidant a la combinaison des corps, mais c'est la une hypothese inutile et qui n'apporte aucune explication serieuse du phenomene. Le mot affinite doit etre seulement employe pour designer la qualite que possedent les corps de s'unir lorsqu'ils se ren contrent dans des circonstances favorables. Ainsi, en disant que l'affinite de l'oxygene et du mercure se manifeste a 340 et est nulle a on exprime sim plement le fait, sans supposer l'existence d'une force speciale.
