Summary "The Molecular Tactics of a Crystal" by Baron William Thomson Kelvin is a scientific publication that was likely written during the late 19th century. This work addresses the geometry of molecular arrangements within crystals, exploring how these structures are formed and organized on a molecular level. The focus on molecular tactics provides insights into the principles of crystallography and the fundamental geometric considerations necessary for understanding crystal formation. In his lecture, Kelvin delves into the complex geometric configurations that constitute crystalline structures, using a series of illustrative models and diagrams to elucidate his points. He examines the relationships between individual molecules, their orientation, and how these factors contribute to the overall properties of crystals. The text discusses various arrangements, such as homogeneous assemblages and specific shapes like tetrahedrons and hexagons, shedding light on their implications in physical properties and behavior. Through meticulous explanation, Kelvin intertwines theoretical concepts with practical examples, making the intricate realm of crystallography accessible to his audience while emphasizing the impact of molecular tactics on the nature of solid materials.
