 Career

In February 1859 Meyer established himself as Privatdozent in

physics and chemistry at Breslau with a critical historical work,
die chemischen Lehren von Berthollet und Berzelius.
During his stay at Breslau the first edition of his Die modernen
Theorien der Chemie umi ihre Bedeutung fr die chemische Statik
appeared (1864).
Meyer was called to the School of Forestry at Neustadt-Eberswalde
in 1866 for his first independent position.
In 1868 Meyer succeeded C. Weltzien as professor of chemistry and
director of the chemical laboratories at the Karlsruhe Polytechnic
Institute.

major new section, constituting more than a third of the book,
entitled Dynamik der Atome.

theoretischen Chemie
The year 18941895 he was elected rector of
Tbingen University.
 Achievement

He also attached his graphical representation of the

variation of atomic volume of the solid elements
(volume divided by atomic weight) when plotted
against atomic weight, for which he is most generally
known.
 Quotes

That the as yet undivided chemical elements are

absolutely irreducible substances, is currently at least
very unlikely. Rather it seems, that the atoms of
elements are not the final, but only the immediate
constituents of the molecules of both the elements and
the compoundsthe Molekeln or molecule as foremost
division of matter, the atoms being considered as
second order, in turn consisting of matter particles of a
third higher order.
