We can picture to ourselves... the elements in the atom of the salt as coupled together in various ways; for example, as one atom of sulphide of copper combined with four atoms of oxygen, that is to say, as the oxide of a compound radical; as one atom of binoxide of copper and one atom of sulphurous acid; as one atom of copper and one atom of a salt-former, S04; and, finally, as one atom of oxide of copper and one atom of sulphuric acid. So long as the simple atoms remain together, one of these notions is as good as another. If it is a question, however, of the behaviour when the compound atom is decomposed by electricity, or by the action of other substances (in the wet way for instance), then the relation is quite different. The compound atom in that case never undergoes decomposition in accordance with the first two views, but it does according to the two latter. The copper can be exchanged for other metals according to the view Cu + S04; but if the copper is taken away without being replaced, as is the case by the action of electricity, then that part of the atom of the salt which remains over, breaks up into oxygen and sulphuric acid. If, on the contrary, the salt of copper is decomposed either by a very feeble electrical force or by means of other oxides, into oxide of copper and sulphuric acid, both of these remain afterwards, and from them the salt can be compounded again. There must naturally be a reason for these circumstances, and the reason can scarcely be other than this, that when sulphuric acid and oxide of copper...
