GARRETT P. SERVES DEFINES
ATOMS AND MOLECULES
Latter Are Composed Of Former, Which III Turr
Are Made Up Of EIectrons

There is one question that
is bothering me, and presume
the answer would enlighten
many: What il the difference
between molecule and an
atom? Are both contained In
all matter, or is one contained
in the other? Or is it that some
chemicals contain one and some
the other? ] thank you heart
lily for your articles.
"A. G."
"HERE is some confusion In
the use Of these terms. and
it is not surprising that the
unscientifiic reader is occasionally
puzzled over them. This arises
from the fact that the physicist
and the chemist look at the
molecule in different ways. In
fact, in former times the two
words, ''Inolecule" and atom. Z
were both used indiscriminately
to describe the smallest particle
OF matter capable Of separate
existence" But about 1850 chem
lists began sharply to distinguish
between molecules and atoms,
the latter being supposed to con-
stitute the ultimate or basic
particles OF matter, while mole
cules were made up by the group
ing together Of atoms.
This distinction remains, but
now it is known that the atoms
themselves are Invisible into still
smaller units, called electrons.
All three electrons making up
atoms, atoms making up mole
cules and molecules making up
the visible and tangible sub
stances of which the world is
composed are together present
in all matter. The electrons are.
in the atoms Except in the case
of what are called free electrons),
the atoms are in the molecules,
and the molecules are in the mass
of matter.
SO Species of Atoms.
Scientific investigation has dis
covered the existence of at least
ninety-two different species of
atoms, and these are the bases of
the chemical elements. Each ele
ment has it's own kind of atom,
and an aggregation of these
Will OI4lCI
species, constitutes a tangible, or
ponderable, quantity Of that ele-
ment.
Thus, vast numbers OF iron
atoms are grouped to make up a
mass of the elementary substance
iron. So a measurable quantity
of hydrogen gas Is made up of
immense numbers of the atoms of
the element hydrogen. which arc
figured as being grouped into n.y.
drogen molecules.
But atoms OF different species

cuies, and these molecules are
compound and moi simple. They
exist in enormous numbers and
quantities, and constitute the most
of the bulk of the globe on which
we dwell--at least of its exterior
and attainable parts. All tho
rocks, the minerals, the water.

90 well az the living substances
and living, creatures OF the earth
are composed OF compound mole
cules constituted by the union or
different species OF atoms conn
bined in an amazing variety OF
ways, sometimes two kinds If
atoms being united to make up q
molecule, a. in the case OF water,
whose molecules are composed OF
hydrogen and oxygen and some
times several different kinds.
Viewpoint Of Physics.
The science OF chemistry deals
with these things. but the science
OF physics is particularly con-
cerned with matter as made mp
OF molecules, or the molecular
structure Of matter" 1T ID the
behavior OF the molecules rather
than that Of the atoms, that spe-
cially interests the physicist.
Thus the physical theory OF
gases ID based upon the molecules,
and we hear af the different
rates OF molecular vibration which
characterize the different gases.
So. too, the physical pl1enOme-
non Of heat is studied with ref
erence to the behavior OF the
molecules, not the atoms, Of the
heated substance. The physicist's
idea Of a moleculo Is that Il il
''the smallest portion Of 4 sub.
stance which can exist and retain
its original chemical characters
tics" If 1t is divided into It's con-
stituent atoms it loses its former
character entirely. as, for In
stance, when the water molecule
is divided into two gases hydro
gen and oxygen.
Primarily It is not the business
of physics to deal with the atoms
ais such, yet since the atoms have
been found to be not simple in
Invisible particles, but aggrega-
lions Of electrons. it is by means
of physical laws that the study or
the interior constitution of the
atom and OF the relations and mo-
lions Of its constituent electrons
has been conducted.

GERMANY GROAN|NG
 AT ALLIED DEMAND
(Continued from First sPase.)
in order to encourage Germany to fulfill all the conditions of the Ver- sailles treaty.
Guilt Is Denied

New York, June 6. tAP)-While the French newspapers view the al- lied note to Germany on the disarm' ament subject as extremely cour- teous and perhaps affording too much opportunity for quibbling' Ber- lin dispatches reflect feeling or disgust, mingled with ridicule and gloom, in German official quarters
 These circles declare that the note is not only an indictment of Ger many's good will in meeting her treaty obligations but that 1t will provide the nationalists with fresh material for reactionary agitation.
 An official spokesman is quoted as asserting that the allied demands are too humiliating for any nation to accept, and that the government will certainly reject them. The Luther ministry, however. must con suit with the reichstag foreign re- lations committee and the premiers of the federated states before fram- ing its reply.
 The Germans deny that they are guilty of building up armaments for aggressive purposes, one official say ing :"The allies first objected to our having an army for offensive pur- poses. and now are opposed to let ting us have one wholly devoted to the nations defense"
 The allied note sets forth an ex- tensive list of rectifications and de- mands which must be fulfilled be- fore the evacuation of the Cologne bridgehead. under article 429 of the Versailles treaty, will be considered justified.
 The chief demands include reduc- tion of Germany's military forces to 100000 men, suppression of short term enlistments, by which 1t is al- leged Germany has been building up a great number of trained men; radical notifications of the reich swehr general staff, abolition of the military character of the security police, reduction of this force from 1SO.OOO to 150,000 men, and whole- sale destruction of a number Of in- dustrial plants which are held to be adaptable for the production or war material.
