Abstract

There are fewer nonmetal elements than metal elements in the periodic table, but nonmetals are more abundant on Earth. This book, part of a new series that introduces the essentials of chemistry, provides details of these nonmetal elements, from hydrogen (the lightest) to the noble gases, which include the radioactive element radon. Numerous diagrams, detailed features, and key “Science Words” enhance understanding of the basic science principles, and “Try This” panels outline experiments that can be undertaken as a first step to further practical investigations.
