More than 250 new terms reflect modern chemical nomenclature and the most up-to-date information on properties of the elements. More than 50 line drawings illustrate many complex chemical structures, and extensive cross-references guarantee that no user will waste time searching for the right definition. Tables list physical constants, the characteristics of elementary particles, and other often consulted information.
A reference for students of chemistry that defines terms and sometimes explains them at some length but does not indicate how to pronounce them. The first edition was published in 1980, and the third contains over 2,300 entries and appends a number of tables, including the periodic table, the Greek alphabet, and fundamental constants. There is very little cross-referencing. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Defines every important chemical term and concept, from simple chemical reactions to the complexities of molecular structures and affinities
