Description
Book SynopsisWritten with both students and educators in mind, this book presents a tour of the elements found in the British "A" level syllabus. Each chapter presents a key concept of chemistry in the context of the element, instilling a wider background in chemistry to the reader, which can then be tested by questions in the text. Students of chemistry will enjoy this informative approach to revision, while educators will gain inspiration for planning lessons and discussing concepts. International baccalaureate and foundation-year students will also benefit from the topics presented in this accessible textbook.

Trade ReviewWhat distinguishes this book from the others is that it is targeted at A-level students and their teachers, though International Baccalaureate and foundation year university students would also benefit. These accounts are complemented by an excellent variety of questions. I thoroughly recommend this book to all A-level teachers who wish to challenge their pupils. -- Simon Cotton * http://www.rsc.org/eic/2014/03/around-world-elements-periodic-table *
"If you are doing A-level chemistry or perhaps are in the first year of a chemistry degree, the book will be a genuine delight...this is a book that could well make chemistry significantly more approachable and meaningful, making the title very much recommended." -- Brian Clegg * Popular Science *
