Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a clear and accessible introduction to the contemporary understanding of scientific chemistry from its most fundamental building blocks. Beginning with the differences between chemistry and physics, the author moves logically through the elements and their constructions through to the evaluation of the chemical composition of various substances. The author explains the discovery of the elements, which were once believed to be the fundamental and irreducible components of the material world, and the periodic table that organizes these elements. The author goes on to explore the nature of chemical reactions, from the combustion of simple materials to the activities of enzymes that mediate the functions of life. The author also discusses the modern understanding of the atom and the nature of chemical bonds, including the nature of organic chemistry and the chemical basis for the existence of life. This book will be of great value to students and anyone with an interest in the history and development of chemistry, providing a thorough overview of this vast field of science.
