Every element gets its own treatment here, photographed in real samples and everyday objects rather than shown only as a symbol on a grid.
Entries set out where an element is found, how it behaves and what it is used for, with atomic detail presented beside images that make abstract chemistry concrete. The visual approach suits readers meeting the periodic table for the first time as well as those returning to it.
Inside the covers:
• Element-by-element coverage with photography of real materials
• Notes on properties, natural sources and practical uses
• Spreads that connect laboratory chemistry to household objects
• Reference material that supports school projects and browsing alike
Upper-primary and secondary students, science teachers and families with a budding chemist will find this DK Publishing volume at Boipoka.
