Mitscherlich's law

Mitscherlich's law of isomorphism, or the law of isomorphism, is an approximate law suggesting that crystals composed of the same number of similar elements tend to demonstrate isomorphism.[1]

Origins

Mitscherlich's law is named for German chemist Eilhard Mitscherlich,[2] who formulated the law and published it between 1819 and 1823.[3]
