The new compositional nomenclature embodied another, implicit notion of element, which is also at work in Lavoisier's thinking about chemical substances: only this second notion can explain the role of oxygen in charge, and not atomic weight, that overwhelmingly determines the chemical behavior of both elements and compounds, via the electronic structure course, 'heavy water' names a compound rather than an element, but the ./cache/work_enqyzgzg2zebbnkajjqdzzs2za.pdf ./txt/work_enqyzgzg2zebbnkajjqdzzs2za.txt
