Description
The Periodic Table Explained by James M. Russell is an engaging and accessible introduction to chemistry's most significant chart. Created in the early 1860s, the periodic table has revolutionized our understanding of chemical elements and their role in everyday life. From the creation of hydrogen, lithium, and helium in the big bang, to oxygen and carbon, which sustain life on earth, this book explores the fascinating story of the building blocks of the universe. With a focus on the 118 known elements, Russell's narrative sheds light on the people who identified, isolated, and even created these elements. This book is ideal for readers looking to learn more about chemistry in an engaging manner, as well as students seeking to deepen their understanding of the subject.
