The importance of the work of WH Bragg and W. L. Bragg in its bearing on chemistry has not, as yet, been generally recognized. In hearing two of WH Bragg’s lectures in this country a few years ago, the writer was impressed with thevery great significance of this work in the field of chemistry. The structure of crystals as found by the Braggs leads to new and more definite conceptions as to the nature of chemical forces.The writer has constantly endeavored to apply this new conception in his work on heterogeneous reactions and particularly in connection with a study of the phenomena of adsorption and surface tension. In this way he has gradually been led to form more or less definite theories of the mechanism of evaporation, condensation, liquefaction, adsorption, and capillary phenomena. According to this theory, both solids and liquids
