The elements and their chemistry, in minutes

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An icon of science, the Periodic Table defines the fundamental chemistry of everything in the universe. In this compact yet comprehensive guide, Dan Green outlines the history, development and workings of the table, shows how its design reflects and illuminates the organisation of all matter, and even explains what it has to tell us about the chemistry of distant stars and of our own bodies.

Contents include an individual entry for every known element β€” detailing properties, uses and key data β€” and sections on the patterns and groups of the famous table. There are also explanations of basic chemistry concepts such as elements and compounds, atomic structure, chemical bonds, reactions, and radioactivity, amongst many others.
