Description

This comprehensive volume traces the pioneering discovery and isolation of the rare earth elements, a journey that challenged the greatest chemical minds for over 150 years. From Gadolin and Berzelius to Urban and Crookes, the book documents how scientists confronted unprecedented difficulties in characterising these elusive materials. Beyond laboratory achievements, the rare earths created unique theoretical puzzles for Mendeleyev's periodic table, forcing chemists to reconsider fundamental principles of elemental organisation. Part I focuses specifically on the discovery phase, revealing how each new rare earth element's isolation pushed the boundaries of chemical knowledge and technique. This historical account captures the intellectual drama, experimental ingenuity and scientific persistence that defined the era, making it essential reading for anyone interested in chemical history and the development of modern element science.

Key Features

The book focuses on the discovery and characterisation of rare earth elements across over 150 years of chemical research and experimentation.

Episodes from the History features contributions and discoveries by prominent chemists including Gadolin, Berzelius, Mosander, Hisinger, Kloproth, Urban, Auer von Welsbach and Crookes.

Part I explores how rare earth elements introduced particular theoretical problems for Mendeleyev's periodic table and periodic law.

This Springer publication is volume 15 in the Chemists and Chemistry series, part of a broader academic collection on chemical history.
