	Theodore William Richards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on 31 January 1868.
		He invented the nephelometer and by 1912 he had redetermined, with the highest accuracy, the atomic weights of over thirty important chemical elements and in later years he was to play his part, by his work on the determination of the atomic weight of isotopes, in the modern concept of the atom.
		Professor Richards received honorary doctorates and honours from around the world, including the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1914.

		William T. Richards was found dead in the bathtub with his wrists slashed, blood from his wounds garlanding the walls of the bathroom.
		Richards, who was subsidized by his well-heeled Brahmin family, had soon noticed that his Russian colleague, a recent émigré who sent money to his family in Europe, was having difficulty managing on the standard instructor's salary of $160 a month.
		Richards was an avid reader of Astounding Science Fiction and probably intended to place his story in the magazine, which regularly carried the futuristic visions of H. Wells and was a popular venue for the doomsday fantasies of scientists who were themselves good writers.

		Richards was a solitary man, confining his friends to a small, clever circle.
		George Kistiakowsky, a Harvard chemistry professor and one of Richards' closest friends and professional colleagues, guessed the truth immediately, "that it was a take-off on the Loomis Laboratory and the characters frequenting it." Despite its contrived plot, the book was essentially a roman à clef.

	Richards, Theodore William
		Richards graduated from Haverford College, Pa., (1885) and took advanced degrees at Harvard University, where he became instructor in chemistry in 1891 and full professor in 1901.
		Richards greatly improved the technique of gravimetric atomic weight determinations, introducing quartz apparatus, the bottling device, and the nephelometer (an instrument for measuring turbidity).
		Richards and his students revised these figures, lowering, for instance, Stas's value for silver from 107.93 to 107.88.

		Richards outlined Zmenov's theory, "tossed off with the breezy impudence of a theoretical physicist," describing the principles of atomic fission and the chain reaction by which an explosion spreads from a few atoms to a large mass of material, thereby generating a colossal amount of power.

		In the same year Richards printed three other papers based on his independent work on the atomic weights of copper and silver, as well as one dealing with the heat produced by the reaction of silver nitrate with solutions of metallic chlorides.
		It is altogether fitting that the definitive account of his life is the Theodore William Richards Memorial Lecture delivered by Sir Harold Hartley before the Chemical Society of London on April 25, 1929.
		Richards has himself said that "the secret of success in the study of atomic weights lies in carefully choosing the particular substances and processes employed, and in checking every operation by parallel experiments so that every unknown chemical and physical error will gradually be ferreted out of its hiding place.

		Richards was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and studied at Harvard, where he was professor from 1901.
		In 1913, he detected differences in the atomic weights of ordinary lead and samples extracted from uranium minerals (which had arisen by radioactive decay) - one of the first convincing demonstrations of the uranium decay series and confirming English chemist Frederick Soddy's prediction of the existence of isotopes.

		The relation of copper to silver, of copper to bromine, and of copper to sulphuric acid were all determined with care, and all yielded essentially the same new value, thus leaving no doubt that the old value for copper was nearly one-half a percent too low.
		The anomalous behavior of barium sulphate led Richards then to study the atomic weight of barium; both barium chloride and barium bromide were analyzed taking care to drive off all
		This seems to have been Stas's most grievous error, and came to pass only because all the defects in his process accumulated on the head of this lightest of all the metals.
