Vollmer correctly reports that my article includes an analysis of Paneth's writings on the concept of an "element." This issue concerns the In fact it is not atoms that Paneth claims to be property-less but the elements themselves. Vollmer's move to discuss the persistence of the color of elements in persistence of an element and therefore the identity of a chemical element are, Paneth's implication seems to be, properties that are not of Paneth the answer lies in adopting an intermediate position between regarding the manifest chemical properties of elements and compounds realistically, on one hand, and the reductive view from physics that tells us 3. The Question of Isotopes as "Atoms." In the 1920s Paneth drew on this properties as atomic number and weight; in the latter case, it refers to of atoms but of the nature of elements such as sodium.	./cache/work_xkdydj4jxbh5fli24jt6rnverm.pdf	./txt/work_xkdydj4jxbh5fli24jt6rnverm.txt
