Six talks about, the present-day growth of science
3-From Atoms Into Molecules by A. R. Todd , F.R.S.
Professor of Organic Chemistry In the University of Cambridge
Professor Todd explains how a knowledge of the properties of atoms and molecules enables the chemist, like a molecular architect, to build new substances according to plan. At the end he indicates how this knowledge of the architecture of molecules is guiding research in such varied fields as finding new drugs or making new plastics.
