(Rufus Phillips) An Introduction to Chemical Science This etext was produced by John Mamoun with the Online Distributed Proofreading Team of Charles Franks. "An Introduction to Chemical Science" by Rufus P. Williams is a scientific publication likely written during the late 19th century. This textbook is aimed at high school students and seeks to provide a straightforward, practical approach to chemistry, emphasizing experimental learning and the principles of inductive reasoning rather than simply conveying vast amounts of chemical information. The opening of the book includes a preface where the author outlines his intentions for the text, emphasizing the importance of engaging students through practical experiments and questions that encourage observation and comprehension of key chemical phenomena. Williams starts the discussion with fundamental concepts, introducing the metric system and the divisibility of matter, leading into basic chemical principles and categorizing substances, including elements and compounds. Through a series of introductory experiments, students are encouraged to actively engage with the material, applying theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, thus reinforcing their understanding of chemistry as a dynamic and experiential science.
