The chapter introduce our current understanding of the origin and nature of the matter in our solar system. It then discusses the atomic properties of the elements and summarizes how atomic structure is rationalized in terms of the behavior of electrons in atoms. We review trends in atomic parameters such as radius and the spacing of energy levels, and rationalize these trends in terms of the r…
From the makers of How It Works comes Amazing Chemistry, an interactive guide to help you understand the fundamentals of this fascinating subject. Take a look a ten amazing chemical reactions and discover what’s happening at an atomic level. Read about the supermaterials that are harder than diamonds and darker than night, and learn all about the science of food and more.
In-chapter Examples walk students through problems by posing a question, stepping out a solution, and then asking students to practice the skill with a “Check Your Learning” component. The book also includes assessments at the end of each chapter so students can apply what they’ve learned through practice problems. Chemistry was conceived and written to fit a particular topical sequence, …
