Packed with stunning photography, Eyewitness Periodic Table explores the building blocks of our universe. Beginning with a concise history of chemistry, scientific pioneers, and the creation of the first periodic table, this comprehensive guide then launches into a visual tour of each individual element. Along the way, you'll find out where each element comes from and what it is used for, explained clearly and simply for young readers. Explore elements such as nitrogen and oxygen and learn why they are essential to our survival. See how precious gold protects astronauts in space, and what makes the metal mercury so unusual.
