This title provides in-depth, current and accurate information on 112 known chemical elements, plus coverage on recently-discovered elements 113 through 118 (now waiting approval from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). This new 3-vol. title provides in-depth, current and accurate information on 112 known chemical elements, plus coverage on elements 113 through 118 (known to exist but not yet discovered). Entries describe how the element was discovered and by whom, the element's practical role in everyday life, who or what it is named after and more.
In this thoroughly revised edition, with extensive new examples on the importance of the chemical elements, the elements are examined within their groups, enabling students to make connections between elements of similar structure.
Organized in order by atomic number, each chapter is devoted to lan element and includes its physical properties, brief history, chemical properties, production methods, important and interesting compounds, and isotopes.
This title starts by looking at the idea of an element and the classification of elements into the Periodic Table, a table that enables chemists to make many predictions about elements and compounds.
In a subsequent letter to the Journal of Chemical Education, Lavelle referred to the article by Clark and White [7]: In their letter Clark and White wonder why the chemistry education community has not uniformly adopted just one form of ...
Using vivid imagery, ingenious analogies, and liberal doses of humor P. W. Atkins answers this question. He shows us that the Periodic Kingdom is a systematic place.
Through the work of such scientist as Lavoisier, Dalton, & Davy, chemical theory moved from metaphysical elements to operationally functional atoms.
The answer to both questions is yes, and the process is a simple one as you will see. The first part of the memorisation process is to use a blank Periodic Table. This book provides one that you can duplicate for memory work.
The Chemical Element: A Historical Perspective
This book uses helpful glossaries and tables to fast track your knowledge of the other 68 elements and the relationships between all of them.
This combination of facts and actual data makes this book suitable for learning and teaching applied geochemistry as well.
