Note 342

One describes the "molecule", but one doesn't pronounce its name. (What in itself would, of course, not yet be an advance) But one may expect that to this primary verbal-foundation will connect the most fruitful associations). To say it again for our view :  Unimol satisfies the essential chemical definition of the molecule concept, namely :  Sum-total of all atoms uninterruptedly connected with one another by valence bonds (what theoretically would permit even the setting up of an equivalent-structural-formula), as well as in principle the physical definition :  the smallest particle still possessing its [substance's] full-typical properties.
