Sinopsis

Excerpt from An Analysis of Molecular Volumes From the Point of View of the Lewis-Langmuir Theory of Molecular Structure: A Dissertation

Two facts, in particular, are brought out by the foregoing analysis. First, isosteric atoms, molecules and groups appear to have the same volume regardless of the particular kinds of atoms of which they are composed. In other words, the number and arrangement of electrons in the outer shells of atoms or groups of atoms is the predominating factor in determining their volume. Second, the volumes of other atoms, particularly of the more complex ones, are intimately related to the volumes of the rare gases.

It is realized that the possibilities of the method of treatment used in this paper are by no means exhausted and the writer expects at some future time to consider further the implications of the present work.

Excerpt from An Analysis of Molecular Volumes From the Point of View of the Lewis-Langmuir Theory of Molecular Structure: A Dissertation

The volumes of nitrogen and carbon monoxide are 174 and 178, respectively, that of the unsymmetrical carbon monoxide being slightly the greater. Taking symmetrical nitrogen to compare with the symmetrical carbon atoms of acetylene (229), it is found that one-half the difference between the volumes of the two compounds, which should equal the volume of one hydrogen atom, is again 28.

It is convenient to point out here that the volumes of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, which are isosteric, are 191 and 198, respectively. If nitrous oxide has the structure N = N = O, as Langmuir is inclined to think, then again the unsymmetrical isostere (N₂O) has slightly the greater volume, as found in comparing carbon monoxide and nitrogen. The lack of symmetry in both cases is in the distribution of positive charge among the nuclei of the atoms.

Elementary fluorine is isosteric with the nuclear carbon atoms of ethane. As, however, the critical constants of the former have not been determined, no comparison can be made. It will be of interest to obtain a value for two tetrahedral neon octets sharing one pair, as in ethane. This can be done by subtracting 6 X 28 for 6 hydrogens from the value for ethane (286); thus 286 - 168 = 118 for the nuclear C - C atoms.

Summary. - From the above it results that with one value (28) for hydrogen, 80 for the cubic neon structure, 144 for 2 tetrahedral neon structures sharing 2 pairs and 174 when sharing 3 pairs, the volumes of methane, ammonia, water, ethylene, acetylene, carbon monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen can be reproduced as follows.

The calculated values agree with the observed within 0.5% with the exception of that for carbon monoxide, which is about 2% too low.
