Abstract
The success of the kinetic theory in accounting for the properties of gases, and that of the ionic lattice theory in accounting for those of crystals, have been such as to warrant the belief that the main features of the constitution of gases and crystals are now understood, and that future development will proceed mainly on the lines already laid down. For liquids, on the other hand, we have hardly the beginnings of a theory; amorphous solids are in a slightly better state. The present article does not claim to have gone far towards the construction of such a theory, but it is hoped that it will at any rate indicate what are some of the chief problems to be faced when one is constructed.
