Abstract
This book, part of a new series that introduces the essentials of chemistry, starts with a basic explanation of the periodic table and goes on to describe the basic characteristics of metals along with detailed descriptions of their atomic structure, reactivity, properties, discovery, sources, uses, and much, much more. Numerous diagrams, detailed features, and key “Science Words” enhance understanding of the basic science principles, and “Try This” panels outline simple experiments that can be undertaken as a first step to further practical investigations.
