Summary

Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds goes behind the scenes of day-to-day chemistry to explore the atoms that govern chemical processes. In clear language, this exciting book shows how the interactions between simple substances such as salt and water are crucial to life on Earth and how those interactions are predestined by the atoms that make up the molecules. In addition, the stories of the scientists whose discoveries shaped the modern world, such as Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, are presented here in gripping detail. Brimming with full-color photographs and illustrations and enhanced by sidebars and a glossary, Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds enables readers to explore the incredible discoveries highlighted in this book.
