Features: With the advancement of technology, it is becoming increasingly difficult for students and teachers to obtain direct and rapid answers to fundamental scientific and meteorological/climatological questions. Therefore, they will welcome the "Science Classification Handbook: Chemistry" published by U.S. FactsOnFile Publishers. The "Science Classification Handbook" series covers the following disciplines: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Earth Science, Oceanography, Space and Astronomy, Meteorology and Climate, Algebra, Calculus, and Geometry. It is an invaluable bilingual dictionary series organized systematically. The "Science Classification Handbook: Chemistry" published by U.S. FactsOnFile Publishers includes the following sections:
Terminology: The book contains over 1,400 entries, many of which are accompanied by simple diagrams to help explain the meanings of the terms. Topics include: Alkaline Earth Metals, Bromides, Carbides, Elements, Fluorescence, Group V Elements, Helium, Ions, Litmus, and Photochromism.
People: It introduces more than 300 chemists from ancient times to the present, whose discoveries have advanced human understanding and research in chemistry. These scientists include Archimedes, George Wells Beadle, Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Alfred Bernhard Nobel, Louis Pasteur, and Karl Ziegler.
Chronology: It spans nearly 9,000 years of chemical development history, including major discoveries and significant events in chemistry; the European Iron Age; the gradual spread of iron smelting and processing across the European continent (950–500 BC); the standardization of weighing and measuring introduced by Charles Meighen (1789); British chemist Henry Cavendish's discovery of the element hydrogen (1766); French chemist Pierre Curie and physicist Marie Curie's discovery of the elements radium and polonium (1896).
All books in this series published by U.S. FactsOnFile Publishers are equipped with a convenient index, making it easy for students and teachers to quickly verify information. This book places chemistry within the broader context of science, highlighting the close connections between all disciplines and enabling the comparison and integration of information across different fields. The book includes more than 1,400 terms, introduces more than 250 scientists and earth scientists from ancient times to the present, narrates the 3,700-year history of earth science development, and covers major discoveries and significant events in earth science.
