Chemistry - Valparaiso

Among a wealth of enhancements, this edition analyzes, updates, and validates molecular formulas and weights, boiling and melting points, densities, and refractive indexes in the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds Table through comparisons with critically evaluated data from the NIST Thermodynamics Research Center.

This mini-encyclopedia contains everything you need to know about analytical chemistry in a highly readable pocket-sized form. From sample preparation to detection, separation to continuous flow analysis, it lives up to its name as a truly essential guide for the practicing analyst in chemistry and biochemistry.

Here, Eric Scerri looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the periodic table, and how the deeper meaning of its structure gradually became apparent with the development of atomic theory and quantum mechanics, so that, as Scerri puts it, one science,physics, arguably came to colonize another, chemistry, although such a view is resisted by chemists.

Encyclopedia of Chemistry, Revised Edition is the definitive reference to this vast subject area. Hundreds of chemistry-related entries, thought-provoking essays, leading discoveries, and biographies of notable chemists throughout history provide academic and early college students with the most complete information available.
