While scientists categorize the chemical elements as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids largely based on the elements' abilities to conduct electricity at normal temperatures and pressures, there are
In spite of their adjacency in the periodic table, halogens and nonmetals have very different properties. Halogens are among the most chemically reactive elements in the periodic table, exhibiting a
The general public may not be familiar with lanthanides, actinides, and transactinides, but these elements comprise approximately 35 percent of the total number of known elements. Attempts to pr

Meet the atom: the building block of the universe In this boldly illustrated book for beginners, young kids will learn the basics of atoms, molecules, and how everything fits together to build the world they love. Bright, modern art introduces protons, neutrons, electrons, elements, the periodic table, and much, much more A stunning teaching aid that's as beautiful as it is educational.
A visual exploration of chemistry, The Stardust That Made Us is the third stunning STEM title from Colin Stuart and Ximo Abadía, following the success of The Speed of Starlight (physics) and The Language of the Universe (mathematics).Imagine that Nature has an unseen cookbook full of different recipes for making everything you've ever encountered, from fish to fingernails and sand to Saturn. The 'ingredients' are known as chemical elements and there are 118 that we know about so far, which are organised in a grid called the periodic table. Some occur in nature, some are man-made, some are dangerous, some even glow blue!Stunning surrealist artwork by Ximo Abadía meets easy-to-read informative text by science writer Colin Stuart to create highly engaging content that will inspire future scientists.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLUE PETER BOOK AWARDS 2019 - BEST BOOK WITH FACTS SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY YOUNG PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE 2019. LONGLISTED FOR THE UKLA BOOK AWARDS 2020 Did you know that without the ‘lead’ in your pencil, there would be no life on Earth? Just about everything in the universe is made from only 92 elements – and from aluminium to zinc, many of them are hiding in your very own home! Packed with Lauren Humphrey's quirky illustrations and written by the multi-talented Mike Barfield, this unique introduction to the elements in the periodic table will excite all young readers as they help Sherlock Ohms solve the mystery of how absolutely everything came to exist!
This book describes and explains the methods by which three related ores and recyclables are made into high purity metals and chemicals, for materials processing. It focuses on present day processes and future developments rather than historical processes. Nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals are key elements for materials processing. They occur together in one book because they (i) map together on the periodic table (ii) occur together in many ores and (iii) are natural partners for further materials processing and materials manufacturing. They all are, for example, important catalysts - with platinum group metals being especially important for reducing car and truck emissions. Stainless steels and CoNiFe airplane engine super alloys are examples of practical usage. The product emphasises a sequential, building-block approach to the subject gained through the author's previous writings (particularly Extractive Metallurgy of Copper in four editions) and extensive experience. Du
Rare Earths elements are composed of 15 chemical elements in the periodic table. Scandium and yttrium have similar properties, with mineral assemblages, and are therefore referred alike in the literat
This handbook consists of tabulations of the Slater-Koster parameters of 53 elements in the periodic table, including metals, semiconductors, and insulators.

This 1968 volume contains a number of authoritative accounts in many areas of organic chemistry. Volatile compounds and elements of groups III and IV of the periodic table and fluorine compounds receive particular attention, but aspects of general structural chemistry, organometallic compounds, metal–metal bonding, non-aqueous solutions, coordination compounds and solid state chemistry are also covered by specialists. Each chapter was an important review and a stimulus to workers in its field. The book as a whole is a valuable survey of the scope and methods of inorganic chemistry of this time. The contributors are all former students of Professor Emeléus and this book was devoted to him on the occasion of his 65th birthday. It includes a brief account of his scientific career and achievements by the editors of the volume.
