Description
A solid mid-century chemistry title, The Electronic Theory of Acids and Bases is a specialized work by W. F. Luder and Saverio Zuffanti, published by John Wiley & Sons. First issued in 1946, your copy is the fourth printing, December 1951, making it an appealing early hardcover printing of an important book tied to Lewis acid-base theory.
This book has real appeal for collectors of chemistry, history of science, and academic texts because it focuses on a major modern concept in chemistry: the electronic, or Lewis, theory of acids and bases. In simple terms, that theory broadened acid-base chemistry beyond the older proton-only framework, which gives this volume lasting historical and scientific interest.
* Early John Wiley hardcover printing
* Fourth printing dated December 1951
* Specialized chemistry title on Lewis acid-base theory
