Page 37 - To form some conception of the degree of coarse-grainedness indicated by this conclusion, imagine a rain drop, or a globe of glass as large as a pea, to be magnified up to the size of the earth, each constituent molecule being magnified in the same proportion. The magnified structure would be coarser grained than a heap of small shot, but probably less coarse grained than a heap of cricketballs.

There is no definite knowledge as to just what causes affinity or makes certain substances tend to react. Chemical activity or affinity, however, appears to depend finally upon atomic structure. Where the electron arrangement is extremely stable the element will be inert. Where electrons are readily gained or lost the element will be active...
