Description

Chemistry for Beginners brings the fascinating world of chemistry to life, from atoms to life-changing inventions. This engaging introduction to chemistry tackles the key concepts and big ideas in a friendly and accessible way.

From atoms to molecules, discover the basic building blocks of the universe and find out how chemists use them to create amazing new medicines, materials and more. Follow step-by-step chemical reactions, explore the periodic table and learn all about chemistry's real-life applications from solving crimes to producing green energy.

Chapters in this book include:

Introduction
Find out what chemistry is, and the amazing things chemists have learned to do with it over the centuries.

What's the world made of?
Discover the basic building blocks of EVERYTHING around you, why they're always changing and how they join together.

Journey into an atom
The smallest building block—an atom—is itself made of even smaller parts. Keep track of the 118 atoms we know about so far in a handy chart called the periodic table.

Making connections
Chemistry is all about what happens when atoms connect and make—or break—bonds with each other.

Chemical reactions
You can't see atoms, but how they behave can be spectacular. This is the fizzy, foamy, explosive world of chemical reactions.

See, smell, taste, touch
Some chemicals have a taste, smell, or even a colour. Others form incredible structures and materials. Together they shape your experience of the world.

Your body
Chemists are fascinated by how the body works, and what to do when it doesn't—from diagnosing diseases to designing medicines.

Keeping us safe
What makes a good or bad chemical? Is there even such a thing? Find out about chemists working to keep us safe.

Saving the planet
The Earth's chemical balance is changing. What can chemists do about it?

Space
The universe is full of chemical secrets—including how our planet and its inhabitants came to be.

What's next?
What are some of the most exciting things chemists are working on right now? Might you join them one day?

About the Author

Darran spent a decade as children's bookseller in Durham. He studied crime scene and forensic science at university. It's handier than you'd expect. He collects useless facts, and writes about lots of subjects - especially science. He is passionate about stories, music, and will talk about octopuses at great length. Kristie Pickersgill was born and raised in Yorkshire, where she developed a love of animals, nature and the great outdoors. After studying Chemistry at the University of York, she worked as a school lab technician before making the leap into educational publishing.
