Imagine the periodic table as a great big family, in which all the members are related but each has its own special characteristic that set it apart. Designed to make learning chemistry much easier and a whole lot more fun, these elementary elements show you the periodic table as you've never seen it before.
Every element in this engaging little book is a specially created character with its own unique personality. Take Helium: you'll never forget his light-as-air nature once you've seen him as a crumple balloon. All the other members of the Group VIII (the Noble Gases) are as easy to remember since they have the same cloud-like shape. You won't forget any of them, from flashing red Neon to silent but deadly Radon.
Quirky yet fact-filled, the text tells you what you need to know about each of the fifty elements featured in the book. Tabular information gives each element's abbreviation, atomic weight, number on the periodic table, density, melting point, boiling point, and date of discovery.
