An Atomistic Interpretation of the Concept of "Mass" relevant to Faraday in the Nineteenth Century

在这项研究中，我调查了19世纪上半叶欧洲国家自然哲学家的各种未发表的历史资料，如法拉第、戴维、道尔顿、贝采里乌斯和贝托莱的资料，以分析他们之间的理论影响和批评，重点关注他们电化学研究的物质理论，例如道尔顿的原子理论或博斯科维奇的点原子论。基于这些调查，我已经说明了“质量”的概念是如何在当时的电化学研究中作为物质的基本性质。它不同于现代的力学概念。

In this study, I investigated various unpublished historical materials of the natural philosophers in the first half of the 19th-century European countries, such as that of Faraday, Davy, Dalton, Berzelius and Berthollet, to analyze theoretical influences and criticisms among them, by focusing on the material theories underlying their electrochemical studies, for instance, Dalton's atomic theory or Boscovichian point-atomism. Based on these investigations, I have illustrated how the concept of "mass" was served as the fundamental property of matter in the electrochemical study of that time. It was different from the modern concept of mechanics.
