Periodic Table in Minutes explanations of basic chemistry concepts such as elements and compounds, atomic structure, chemical bonds, reactions and radioactivity



An icon of science, the Periodic Table defines the fundamental chemistry of everything in the universe. In this compact yet comprehensive guide, Dan Green outlines the history, development and workings of the table, shows how its design reflects and illuminates the organisation of all matter, and even explains what it has to tell us about the chemistry of distant stars and of our own bodies.
