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.
