Lecture 5: The Chemical Revolution and the Nature of Matter
What is the nature of matter, and how did we come to understand the
chemical elements and atomic structure? This lecture is a brief and
selective overview of the history of our understanding of the nature of
matter and chemistry. We will also introduce spectroscopy and
radioactivity, two very powerful tools that came out of the chemical
revolution that are crucial for the inquiry in this class into the
question of life on other worlds. Recorded live on 2009 Sep 29 in Room
1005 Smith Laboratory on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State
University.
