Looking beyond the Periodic Table, the author examines our relationship with matter, from the uncomplicated vision of the Greek philosophers, who believed there were four elements - earth, air, fire, and water - to the work of modern-day scientists in creating elements such as hassium and meitnerium. Packed with anecdotes, The Elements is a highly engaging and entertaining exploration of the fundamental question: what is the world made from?

To understand how chemical reactions happen we need to know about the bonding in molecules, how molecules interact, what determines whether an interaction is favourable or not, and what the outcome will be.

This expanded, third edition, includes new chapters on doped vitreous silica and the, often overlooked, role of halides on glass formation and properties. In addition, solutions to all of the exercises at the ends of chapters are included for the first time in this edition.  This introductory text is ideal for undergraduates in materials science, ceramics, or inorganic chemistry. It will also be useful to the graduate student, engineer, or scientist seeking basic knowledge of the formation, properties, and production of glass in support of their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction; Principles of Glass Formation; Glass Melting; Immiscibility\/Phase Separation; Structures of Glasses; Viscosity of Glass Forming Melts; Density and Thermal Expansion; Transport Properties; Mechanical Properties; Optical and Magnetic Properties; Water in Glasses and Melts; Thermal Analysis of Glasses; Glass Technology; Compositions and Properties of Commercial Glasses; Doped Vitreous Silica; Oxyhalide Glasses","brand":"Royal Society of Chemistry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741984207191,"sku":"9781839161414","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839161414.jpg?v=1720059561"},{"product_id":"the-chemistry-of-explosives-9781839164460","title":"The Chemistry of Explosives","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis concise, easy-to-read book outlines the basic principles needed to understand the chemical mechanisms of explosion.

Yet, for many students entering university, gaining a firm grounding in chemistry is a real challenge. Chemistry responds to this challenge, providing students with a full understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry on which to build later studies.Uniquely amongst the introductory chemistry texts currently available, Chemistry''s author team brings together experts in each of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry with specialists in chemistry education to provide balanced coverage of the fundamentals of chemistry in a way that students both enjoy and understand. The result is a text that builds on what students know already from school and tackles their misunderstandings and misconceptions, thereby providing a seamless transition from school to undergraduate study. Written with unrivalled clarity, students are encouraged to engage with the text and appreciate the central role that chemistry plays in our lives through the unique use of real-world context and photographs. Chemistry tackles head-on two issues pervading chemistry education: students'' mathematical skills, and their ability to see the subject as a single, unified discipline. Instead of avoiding the maths, Chemistry provides structured support, in the form of careful explanations, reminders of key mathematical concepts, step-by-step calculations in worked examples, and a Maths Toolkit, to help students get to grips with the essential mathematical element of chemistry. Frequent cross-references highlight the connections between each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship between the topics, so students can develop an understanding of the subject as a whole. Digital formats and resourcesChemistry is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources. The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk\/ebooks The e-book also features interactive animations of molecular structures, screencasts in which authors talk step-by-step through selected examples and key reaction mechanisms, and self-assessment activities for each chapter. The accompanying online resources will also include, for students:  Chapter 1 as an open-access PDF; Chapter summaries and key equations to download, to support revision; Worked solutions to the questions in the book.The following online resources are also provided for lecturers: Test bank of ready-made assessments for each chapter with which to test your students Problem-solving workshop activities for each chapter for you to use in class Case-studies showing how instructors are successfully using Chemistry3 in digital learning environments and to support innovative teaching practices Figures and tables from the book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview from previous edition It is a great textbook for first year courses with really good use of visual aids and excellent provision of worked examples to illustrate the concepts and their applications.

Geronimo, student at Dublin Institute of Technology *\u003cbr\u003eThis material is fantastic and should be used alongside courses. The level of detail is exactly right for undergraduate courses and the colour coding of the boxes for worked examples and summaries make them really easy to find. There are lots of questions for you to have a go at which makes it easy to practice the new skills the book is helping to teach. * Rebecca Snelgrove, student at Keele University *\u003cbr\u003ePlenty of facts and figures are scattered throughout the text which makes reading not solely an educational, but also a fun activity. The examples of real life chemistry applications maintain the connection between theory and practice. The interdisciplinary approach provides a broader chemical understanding while not losing the comprehensiveness of the book. In short, a good all-in-one textbook for first-year students in chemistry. * Jelte van der Valk, student at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands *\u003cbr\u003eThe topics are very thoroughly explained and are at exactly the right level for the student.

Many inorganic compounds are salts, consisting of cations and anions joined by ionic bonding. Important classes of inorganic salts are the oxides, the carbonates, the sulphates and the halides. Many inorganic compounds are characterised by high melting points. The simplest inorganic reaction is double displacement when in mixing of two salts the ions are swapped without a change in oxidation state.

The former group has attracted particularly close attention because of its possible candidature as hydrogen storage material within the vast prospect of the clean energy economy.
