Which is the densest element? Which has the largest atoms? And why are some elements radioactive? From the little-known uses of gold in medicine to the development of the hydrogen bomb, this is a fresh new look at the Periodic Table. Combining cutting edge science with fascinating facts and stunning infographics, this book looks at the extraordinary stories of discovery, amazing properties and surprising uses of each elements, whether solid, liquid or gas - naturally occurring, synthesised or theoretical! From hydrogen to oganesson, this is a fact-filled visual guide to each element,each accompanied by technical date (category, atomic number, weight, boiling point) as well as fun facts and stories about their discovery and surprising uses.
This amazing book visually reveals the patterns inherent in the periodic table, and does so with simple, clear, beautiful infographics. Gives meaning and context essential to any understanding of chemistry and related subjects, which is priceless.
Love this book for its concise easy-to-understand text and pictures. In addition to pages dedicated to each element, there are interesting sections on interesting topics like radiation and basic chemical principles and properties.
Been looking for something on the periodic table and this hits the nail on the head. Clear descriptions of complex topics, diagrams and graphics to illustration concepts and relationships. All in a fairly compact and digestible format. Highly recommended.
This book is a great way to understand the elements. Full of interesting facts and connections between them. It is not dry or dull and is interesting until the end.
The opposite of dry chemistry lessons at school. Draws you in and invites you to explore what is in effect the Lego set the world is built from. Lots of information. Very interesting.
