In the following table is a list of the chemical elements examined; the first column gives the names, the asterisk affixed to some indicating that they have not yet been discovered by orthodox chemistry. The second column gives the number of ultimate physical atoms contained in one chemical atom of the element concerned. The third column gives the weight as compared with hydrogen, taken as 18, and this is obtained by dividing the calculated number of ultimate atoms by 18. The fourth column gives the recognized weight-number, mostly according to the latest list of atomic weights, the "International List" of 1905, given in Erdmann's "Lehrbuch der Unorganischen Chemie." These weights differ from those hitherto accepted, and are generally lighter than those given in earlier text-books. It is interesting to note that our counting endorses the earlier numbers, for the most part, and we must wait to see if later observations will endorse the last results of orthodox chemistry, or confirm ours. -------------------------------------------- Hydrogen | 18 | 1 | 1 *Occultum | 54 | 3 | -- Helium | 72 | 4 | 3.94 Lithium | 127 | 7.06 | 6.98 Baryllium | 164 | 9.11 | 9.01 Boron | 200 | 11.11 | 10.86 Carbon | 216 | 12 | 11.91 Nitrogen | 261 | 14.50 | 14.01 Oxygen | 290 | 16.11 | 15.879 Fluorine | 340 | 18.88 | 18.90 Neon | 360 | 20 | 19.9 *Meta-Neon | 402 | 22.33 | -- Sodium | 418 | 23.22 | 22.88 Magnesium | 432 | 24 | 24.18 Aluminium | 486 | 27 | 26.91 Silicon | 520 | 28.88 | 28.18 Phosphorus | 558 | 31 | 30.77 Sulphur | 576 | 32 | 31.82 Chlorine | 639 | 35.50 | 35.473 Potassium | 701 | 38.944 | 38.85 Argon | 714 | 39.66 | 39.60 Calcium | 720 | 40 | 39.74 *Metargon | 756 | 42 | -- Scandium | 792 | 44 | 43.78 Titanium | 864 | 48 | 47.74 Vanadium | 918 | 51 | 50.84 Chromium | 936 | 52 | 51.74 Manganese | 992 | 55.11 | 54.57 Iron | 1008 | 56 | 55.47 Cobalt | 1036 | 57.55 | 57.7 Nickel | 1064 | 59.ll | 58.30 Copper | 1139 | 63.277 | 63.12 Zinc | 1170 | 65 | 64.91 Gallium | 1260 | 70 | 69.50 Germanium | 1300 | 72.22 | 71.93 Arsenic | 1350 | 75 | 74.45 Selenium | 1422 | 79 | 78.58 Bromine | 1439 | 79.944 | 79.953 Krypton | 1464 | 81.33 | 81.20 *Meta-Krypton | 1506 | 83.66 | -- Rubidium | 1530 | 85 | 84.85 Strontium | 1568 | 87.11 | 86.95 Yttrium | 1606 | 89.22 | 88.34 Zirconium | 1624 | 90.22 | 89.85
