Hi friends,
Can you help me to seeing the meaning of the following pat from Gottfried's book on qm?to illustrate the failure of classical physics before the invention of quantum physics,he says---
"classical physics cannot explain why the properties of a sample of an element are identical to that of any other sample of the same element irrespective of their prior chemical or physical history-whether one sample has been extracted from one compound and another from a different compound by totally different methods...
I cannot see what is the point of the authir.Dalton told in 1808 that the same element has identical atoms...so...if we are sure we have the same element from two or more different sources it should be obvious they would have the ientical proprties...Isn't it?
