Find out about all 118 elements, the building blocks of matter that
make up our entire universe, in this pocket-sized encyclopedia.
Discover all the major elements of the periodic table, arranged in
chapters according to their group, including alkaline earth metals,
lanthanides, and noble gases. Every important element - from hydrogen
via carbon, oxygen, and gold to oganesson (that's element number 118) -
is presented here.
Every entry includes a photo of the element in its raw state or in use,
as well as its date of discovery and atomic information as found on the
periodic table. Plus here are stunning full-page photos showing elements
as you have never seen them before - perhaps inside machinery that you
can't normally delve into; or in stunning macro photography that reveals
microscopic details invisible to the human eye.
The Pocket Eyewitness series is perfect for all children, from reluctant
readers who can easily digest the key points through to budding Marie
Curies and Louis Pasteurs who want to know more about the most essential
particles on the planet.
