Understanding the Periodic Table by
Chemistry is literally a part of our lives every day. This series introduces you to elements that help you live, thrive, drive, eat, fly, communicate, and more. Each book tells the in-depth story of one vital element.
The Elements by
The Elements?has become an international sensation, with over one million copies in-print worldwide.? The highly-anticipated paperback edition of?The Elements?is finally available. An eye-opening, original collection of gorgeous, never-before-seen photographic representations of the 118 elements in the periodic table.? The elements are what we, and everything around us, are made of. But how many elements has anyone actually seen in pure, uncombined form??The Elements?provides this rare opportunity. Based on seven years of research and photography, the pictures in this book make up the most complete, and visually arresting, representation available to the naked eye of every atom in the universe. Organized in order of appearance on the periodic table, each element is represented by a spread that includes a stunning, full-page, full-color photograph that most closely represents it in its purest form. For example, at -183?C, oxygen turns from a colorless gas to a beautiful pale blue liquid.? Also included are fascinating facts, figures, and stories of the elements as well as data on the properties of each, including atomic weight, density, melting and boiling point, valence, electronegativity, and the year and location in which it was discovered. Several additional photographs show each element in slightly altered forms or as used in various practical ways. The element's position on the periodic table is pinpointed on a mini rendering of the table and an illustrated scale of the element's boiling and/or melting points appears on each page along with a density scale that runs along the bottom.? Packed with interesting information, this combination of solid science and stunning artistic photographs is the perfect gift book for every sentient creature in the universe. Includes a tear-out poster of Theodore Gray's iconic Photographic Periodic Table!
Molecules by
In his highly anticipated sequel to The Elements, Theodore Gray demonstrates how the elements of the periodic table combine to form the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.
Your Guide to the Periodic Table by
Prepare to be amazed by the most wacky and informative look at the periodic table ever! This easy-to-follow introduction to the periodic table links each element to a science story or fascinating fact, from what makes sulfur smelly to what makes hydrogen explode, and everything in between.
The Elements Book by
Kids can go on a visual tour of the 118 chemical elements of the periodic table, from argon to zinc, in this one awesome volume packed with incredible images and fascinating facts. Cataloged by type, each element's properties and atomic structure is explained. More than 1,000 full-color photographs showcase the natural forms of each element, as well as a wide range of unexpected everyday objects in which it is found, to make them relevant to a child's world. How does a motorcycle utilize nitrogen? Which element can absorb harmful chemicals in water? Which famous landmark is made of copper? From hydrogen to sodium to nickel, kids will learn fun facts and be amazed. Supporting STEM education initiatives and designed in DK's signature visual style, The Elements Book brings the periodic table to life.

In a paper published in 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev outlined a system to classify elements and demonstrate the periodic recurrence of chemical properties in the elements. For the most part, Mendeleev's system was based on ascending atomic weight. But he was also willing to adjust an element's position—no matter its atomic weight—so that it would be aligned with other elements having similar properties. He believed that the atomic weights determined for some elements were inaccurate. In fact, such inaccuracies explained most discrepancies. But in a few cases, the discrepancies were due to isotopes, which were unknown to Mendeleev.
