The Structure of the Matter, Part I - German

Atlas of 35 OHP Transparencies size 22 x 28 cm, comprising 86 colour pictures with a great variety of details, mostly with several component figures.
The structure of the matter is the object of world-wide research work. The present atlas contains a systematic survey of the respective research results and is designated for use in secondary schools and in classes of technical, physical and chemical colleges and adult education.

Part 1: The composition of the atom, elementary particles, atomic nuclei, structure of the atomic shell. (Leukippos, Demokritos Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, Sommerfeld) - Matter waves - The Heisenberg uncertainty relation - Atomic model - Atomic spectrum of hydrogen - Term diagram and spectral series of the alkali atoms - The three spectrum types - Solar spectrum. Fraunhofer lines - Hydrogen isotopes and atomic structure of the ten lightest elements - The orbital model.

Part 2: Energy, matter, interactions. Visualising facts being not very vivid about the elementary particles of the matter through the description of interactions -Matter and antimatter: -The EINSTEIN equivalence principles -Stable and unstable nuclides -Nuclear fusion, nuclear binding energy and mass defect -Nuclear fission -Spontaneous nuclear disintegration by FERMI-interaction -The law of radioactive disintegration

Part 3: Classes of matter, properties, chemical bonding. Proceeding from the fundamentals of chemistry, inherent laws and correlations between the physical and chemical properties of the stuffs and the ideas of the atomic composition and chemical bonding are illustrated - The classes of the matter. -The aggregate states -Ionic bond. -Metal bond -Polarization, transitional forms and diagrams of the bond types -Co-ordinative bond -VAN DER WAALS forces -Hydrogen bonding -Ionic dissociation of salts, acids and bases -The electrolytic process and its educts -Substance with various bond-types -Polymerization and macromolecules.

Part 4: Symmetry of crystals, properties of minerals, research into the structure. Correlations between arrangement of the particle grating and the macro-symmetry of the crystallized matter are shown. Some macro-physical properties of solids being suitable as criterions for the determination of minerals. The X-ray analysis of the structure. - The crystal grating model - Laue patterns of a triclinic, monoclinic, rhomboid, trigonal, hexagonal and tetragonal minerals -Mohs scale of hardness -Double refraction and polarization of light waves -Electron density by Fourier analysis -Vector analysis of a Patterson function.
