The basics of chemistry / by Cobb, Allan B.,author.(CARDINAL)273828;
Chemistry in industry -- Metals and metallurgy -- Chemistry and the environment -- Chemistry in medicine.Chemistry's role in industry -- Chemistry and metallurgy -- Enviornmental chemistry -- Chemistry's role in medicine -- Biography: Linus Pauling."A fun-filled introduction to matter, the elements of the periodic table, and atoms, electrons, reactions and bonding, and radioactivity, this volume provides young adults with chemistry examples that reflect their real-world interconnections in science. Key terms, easy experiments, and clear illustrations help to guide students through chemical applications. A chapter about Niels Bohr and his model for the atom honors his contribution to atomic structure and to nuclear fission. Tools and techniques, such as a scanning tunneling microscope, Rutherford's gold foil experiment, and a mass spectrometer, highlight this instructive text that is aligned to the Common Core standards."--Grades 7 to 12.
