Colorful illustrations encourage interest in this vital basic science, giving readers knowledge of the periodic table and the importance of chemical compounds in their lives.
Chemistry of the Elements by The book presents a balanced, coherent and comprehensive account of the chemistry of the elements for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Exploring Chemical Elements and Their Compounds by A detailed A-to-Z tour of the periodic table of the elements
The History and Use of Our Earth's Chemical Elements by In addition to the handy Guide to the Chemical Elements that comprises the bulk of the work, The History and Use of Our Earth's Chemical Elements includes other useful features: ; Introductory material on the basics of chemistry and the Periodic Table ; Appendices on the discoverers of the chemical elements ; A glossary of words commonly used in chemistry and chemical engineering ; A complete bibliography of useful resources, including websites All of this information makes The History and Use of Our Earth's Chemical Elements the ideal one-volume resource for understanding the importance of the chemical elements.
Periodic tales : the curious lives of the elements by verything is made of them, from the furthest reaches of the universe to this book that you hold in your hands, including you. Like you, the elements have lives- personalities and attitudes, talents and shortcomings, stories rich with meaning. You may think of them as the inscrutable letters of the periodic table but you know them much better than you realise.
Theodore Gray's Elements Vault by Elements Vault also includes 20 removable historic documents related to the elements and the field of chemistry, such as Einstein's famous letter to Roosevelt explaining the potential of uranium for use in nuclear weapons, a genuine advertisement for lithium-laced 7UP soda, Mendeleev's original notes on the periodic table, and more. Each of these documents is individually packaged in an envelope attached to the book page.
The secret life of the periodic table : unlocking the mysteries of all 118 elements by Every element has character, be it volatile, aloof, gregarious or enigmatic. They also have incredible stories of how they came to be, how they were discovered and how their qualities have been harnessed to make everything we have in the world. The secret life of the periodic table gives a fascinating insight into the discovery and use of all 118 elements. It uncovers incredible stories of how Mendeleev's table was formulated and the individual elements found, as well as explaining the fundamentals of atomic science and each element's place in the table and our universe.We also have many individual books on specific elements. Search the catalogue or browse the shelves.
Atom builder challenge: How are the elements different from one another?
The National Science Foundation (NSF) joined forces with NBC Learn and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), in 2011, to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry by creating "Chemistry Now"--a weekly, online video series that uncovered and explained the science of common, physical objects in our world and the changes they undergo every day. The series also looked at the lives and work of scientists on the frontiers of the 21st century. Read more...

We begin this episode by comparing and contrasting metals with non-metals. We then describe how Dmitri Mendeleev, the scientist who devised the first Periodic Table, organised the elements not just into metals and non-metals but also into groups based on patterns in the way that they chemically react. Finally, we explain how Mendeleev was able to use the Periodic Table to predict the existence of, and many of the properties of, elements that hadn’t at the time been discovered!
This program explores the development and nature of the modern periodic table, atomic structure, valency and ionisation, table groups and radioactivity
In this game, you are building molecules of different compounds. Before you can assemble the molecule using the provided formula, you first must build the atoms of the necessary elements, adding the correct number of protons, neutrons and electrons. Be quick because you only have 10 minutes to assemble 8 different compounds and their atoms! Look for opportunities to earn additional time for correctly answering questions.
Put your thinking caps on and get ready for some rapid-fire questions about atoms, elements, and the properties of the periodic table. The more questions you get right the more chances you have to solve the tower puzzle. You need to disassemble the tower quickly while the ball falls to the platform!
