The Joy of Chemistry: The Amazing Science of Familiar Things
ISBN: 1591027713 Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): Cathy Cobb, Monty L. Fetterolf Publisher: Prometheus Books Number of Pages: 393
This book challenges the perception of chemistry as too difficult to bother with and too clinical to be any for Cathy Cobb and Monty L Fetterolf both professional chemists and experienced educators introduce readers to the magic elegance and yes joy of chemistry From the fascination of fall foliage and fireworks to the functioning of smoke detectors and computers to the fundamentals of digestion (as when good pizza goes bad) the authors illustrate the concepts of chemistry in terms of everyday experience using familiar materials The authors begin with a bangs colourful bottle rocket assembled from common objects you find in the garage - and then present the principles of chemistry using household chemicals and friendly non-technical language They guide the reader through the basics of atomic structure the nature of molecular bonds and the vibrant universe of chemical reactions Using analogy and example to illuminate essential concepts such as thermodynamics photochemistry electrochemistry and chemical equilibrium they explain the whys and wherefores of chemical reactions Hands-on demonstrations selected for their ease of execution and relevance illustrate basic principles and lively commentaries emphasise the fun and fascination of learning about chemistry This delightful and richly informative book amply proves that chemistry can appeal to our intuition logic and - if we are willing to get down and dirty - our sense of enjoyment too
