Abstract
IN a letter to NATURE (March 11, p. 41) S. C. Bradford stated: “The great objection to Langmuir's theory of atomic structure is the difficulty of accepting his hypothesis of stationary eletrons.” The cases cited are all discussed in G. N. Lewis's paper, “The Atom and the Molecule” (Journ. Amer. Chem. Soc, xxxviii., p. 762, April, 1916), so it is scarcely fair to Lewis to refer to the theory as “Langmuir's theory.”
