This precedes metamorphosis, which, by homogeneous inte- gration, converts the simpler or normal species into polymeric species of higher equivalent weights. In these condensed species, as al- ready pointed out, there is observed an increase, corresponding to the degree of condensation, in their power of resistance to chemical change ; as shown in diminished volatility, fusibility, and solubility, not less than in increased hardness. Carbon dioxyd, CO2, is a gas, and only under exceptional cond...itions gives rise to liquid and solid polymers, which are rapidly depolymerized at the ordinary pressure and temperature; while the corresponding silicon dioxyd, SiOj, is scarcely known except in insoluble crystalline or colloidal polymeric forms, although it is prob- able that, at a very high temperature, it assumes the gaseous form of normal silicon dioxyd.^ ^ In an experiment made by the writer in September, 1885, with the electrical furnace of the Messrs. Cowles, in which the Digitized by Google 98 A Chemical Philosophy, § 60.
