THE T.EH RULES FO'R CLASSIFICATION OF CHEMIC COMPOUNDS
UPON WHICH THE .cODE IS BASED.
The �eynote of t�e �lassifiqation is to bring those compounds having the most properties in common, together.
The most important 6f the many existing classifications of the elements, the Metalloid-metal, and those of Mendelejeff, Moissan, Werner,Ramsay, and Dewey were tested and found not to agree with the researches of experimental chemists. As the result of a renewed search of theZentralblatt der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft covering 400 hours,and lOOO hours of work in tabulating and studying the data accumulated,
another arrangement of the elements was arrived at.
RULE 1. ADOPT THE EMPIRIC CI..ASSIFICATION OF THE ELEMF.NTS
AST����T�e��nt���o����·the greatest number of compounds and thosemost often studied receive the smaTLe s t numeric symbols.
The acidic radical is at leRst twice as often the point-of-view ofa research as is the metal, where several compounds are studied together , as the extensive search of the Zentralblatt has shown.
��i�nigL�g� ���Jar�Wf��o�1?�il�� tFI��� �Jg�re of compoundshave both beEn used in treatises to classify compounds relat1vly. Toadopt both conceptions 8ide-by-side would certainly result in separating many re]ate� bo�p0unds. Neither conception alone can be applied toall compounds wjthout great arbitrariness. At least 30� of the inorganiocompounds do not Lorri z e ; thei r i O1'1S canno t be determined. Therefore ifthe ionic concepticn is a,dopted at least 30� must be arbitrarily clastand symbo Ll z e d . DuaLi s t io Ly , the oxids have been written by such authorj.ties a.s Al)8Ct..., Y{erner arid Ranaay . They consti tute probably over 50 't ofthe inorganic compounds. The arbitrariness in dealing dualisticly withthe remaining co��ounds is not 1/5 that encountered in applying the ioniaconception.RULE 3. WRITE ALL c_&�?tJNDH2�8�J'SJ;8�lo;OR CLASSIFICATIOl� :F'tJRPOSES.
In writing dualistic formulae adopt Werner as authority *

RULE 6. CLASS EACH ACIDIC RADICAL UNDER ITS MOST ACIDIC OR ELECTRO�!."'EGATIV EI.EliGmT.
(I.e. SOs under 0 and not under S. )In cases of .doubt adopt Ramsay as authority.**
'Before considering tlle'1Jature of the metallic or basic radical the a.tomratio of the acj�ic radical elements must be recognized. That is, allsulfites should be clftst together rather than the sulfite and sulfateof potassium t()2:(d'�'�8J�, o.s the 8u1 f' i tes have more properties in common
than have the sulfite and sulfate of potassium.RULE 6. CLASS THE COMPOtn{o ACCORDING TO THE RATIO OF nrm ATOMS OF THEELEMENTS OF THE ACIDIC RADICAL BEFORE EXFRESSING THE METALLIC OR BASICRADICAL.Ru� 7. CLASS SECONDARILY ACCORDING TO THE MOST CHARACTERISTIC BASIC

In decicling on this most cJ;laracteristic radical follow Ramsayin general.
.
.
The two or more salts of a given acid radical. with a metalof variable valence are more nearly related than the salt o� this acidformed with on8 valency of this metal and the salt of the acid formedwith same valency of another metal.E.g.: FeS04 and FeZ(S04)S are more nearly related than are FeSO"and .
