Weaving is believing. It’s almost impossible to imagine doing chemistry today without pictures – without some concept, however schematic, of what molecules look like.
But before John Dalton began to draw atoms as little balls gathered into molecular unions, chemists had to draw on different kinds of intuition. The Scottish chemist Alexander Crum Brown deserves credit for the canonical picture of ball-and-stick molecules. His images of alkanes, alcohols and other simple organics from the 1860s are not so different from those that still feature in elementary textbooks. Much has been written about the pedagogical and cognitive role of models like these in framing chemical concepts. But rather less well known is Crum Brown’s three-dimensional model of the atomic structure of common salt that he built in 1883 – a prescient intuition of the cubic crystal structure that wasn’t verified until the Braggs did it with x-ray diffraction in 1914.
