Career
He is the author of a large number of research articles and two monographs on the systematics of chemical objects, as well as academic textbooks: "General Chemistry" and the two-volume textbook "Chemistry". Andrzej West. Górski formulated the periodic table of atomic cores as co-ordination centres of chemical structural units and a uniform digital definition of acids, bases, oxidants and reducers which both form a basis for empirically verified, morphological classification of chemical structural units. The main area of scientific activity of A.W.Górski was the systematics of chemical objects.
The classification was verified in a vast range of empirical studies which had been carried out on the nature of mechanisms of thermal decomposition of chemical compounds.
In the course of works on the classification of elements and chemical structural units a new version of the periodic chart has been created: Atomic Core Based Periodic System of Elements. This system is compatible with the classification and free from well known deficiencies which occur in the atom based periodic system.
Andrzej Wincenty Górski (the son of Marian Górski, an eminent agrochemist, who was twice rector of the Warsaw Agricultural University) was born August 15, 1920 in Warsaw. In 1947 he graduated from the Department of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology and received his doctorate degree there in 1952.
He became a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 1965.
