Logic, History, and the Chemistry Textbook: I. Does Chemistry Have a Logical Structure?

p. 679
Abstract
The first of a three-part series based on the author's keynote lectures for the 1995 NEACT conference, this lecture addresses the question of how the various concepts and models of chemistry are interrelated and proposes a nine-category classification based on whether the concept or model in question deals with the structure/composition, the energy, or the time dimension of chemistry, and whether the concept or model does so at the molar, molecular, or electrical level of chemical discourse.
