Self-educated, this physicist first gained attention while studying at Leiden with his doctoral treatise, "On the Continuity of the Liquid and Gaseous State". His law of corresponding states was the culmination of work begun with his observation that the size of molecules and the attractive forces between them could be introduced to give a more exact version of the ideal gas law known as his equation. FTP, who was this Dutch physicist known for his namesake weak attractive forces between atoms and molecules, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1910?
