Molecules

Author: Theodore Gray
Publisher: Black Dog & Leventhal
ISBN: 0316392839
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 806

Book Description
In Molecules, bestselling author Theodore Gray demonstrates, through stunning, never-before-seen images and illustrations, how the elements of the periodic table combine to form the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores, through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography, the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.

Reactions

Pages : 690

Book Description
In Reactions, bestselling author Theodore Gray demonstrates, through stunning, never-before-seen images and illustrations, how molecules interact and change in ways that are essential to our existence. With Reactions, Theodore Gray completes the journey through the chemical world that began with the tour de force The Elements and continued with Molecules. In The Elements Gray showed us a never-before-seen photographic view of the 118 elements in the periodic table. In Molecules, he showed us how the elements combine to form the matter that makes up our world. At last, we've arrived at the final step in the chemical process. Reactions begins with a recap of elements and molecules and the goes on to explain the concepts that characterize a chemical reaction, including energy, entropy, and time. Gray introduces us to his favorite reactions, from those characterized by ignition and explosion, to photosynthesis, to "The Boring Chapter" in which he dives deep into reactions like paint drying, grass growing, and water boiling. Reactions is the spectacular finale of the three-act chemical drama that Gray has illustrated for us over the years in his engaging, entertaining, and inimitable way.

Languages : en
Pages : 27

Book Description
**This is the chapter slice "What Are Compounds?" from the full lesson plan "Atoms, Molecules & Elements"** Young scientists will be thrilled to explore the invisible world of atoms, molecules and elements. Our resource provides ready-to-use information and activities for remedial students using simplified language and vocabulary. Students will label each part of the atom, learn what compounds are, and explore the patterns in the periodic table of elements to find calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), and helium (He) through hands-on activities. These and more science concepts are presented in a way that makes them more accessible to students and easier to understand. Written to grade and using simplified language and vocabulary and comprised of reading passages, student activities, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and color mini posters, our resource can be used effectively for test prep and your whole-class. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEM initiatives.

Elements of Molecular and Biomolecular Electrochemistry

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 505

Book Description
This book is based on the George Fisher Baker Lecture given by Jean-Michel Savéant at Cornell University in Fall 2002. * The first book focusing on molecular electrochemistry * Relates to other fields, including photochemistry and biochemistry * Outlines clearly the connection between concepts, experimental illustrations, proofs and supporting methods * Appendixes to provide rigorous demonstrations to prevent an overload of algebra in the main text * Applications-oriented, focused on analyzing the results obtained rather than the methodology

Atoms, Molecules & Elements Gr. 5-8

Pages : 61

Book Description
Young scientists will be thrilled to explore the invisible world of atoms, molecules and elements. Our resource makes the periodic table easier to understand. Begin by answering, what are atoms? See how the atomic model is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. Find out what a molecule is, and how they differ from elements. Then, move on to compounds. Find the elements that make up different compounds. Get comfortable with the periodic table by recognizing each element as part of a group. Examine how patterns in the period table dictate how those elements react with others. Finally, explore the three important kinds of elements: metals, nonmetals and inert gases. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

Ecological Stoichiometry

Author: Robert W. Sterner
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400885698
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 465

Book Description
All life is chemical. That fact underpins the developing field of ecological stoichiometry, the study of the balance of chemical elements in ecological interactions. This long-awaited book brings this field into its own as a unifying force in ecology and evolution. Synthesizing a wide range of knowledge, Robert Sterner and Jim Elser show how an understanding of the biochemical deployment of elements in organisms from microbes to metazoa provides the key to making sense of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. After summarizing the chemistry of elements and their relative abundance in Earth's environment, the authors proceed along a line of increasing complexity and scale from molecules to cells, individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems. The book examines fundamental chemical constraints on ecological phenomena such as competition, herbivory, symbiosis, energy flow in food webs, and organic matter sequestration. In accessible prose and with clear mathematical models, the authors show how ecological stoichiometry can illuminate diverse fields of study, from metabolism to global change. Set to be a classic in the field, Ecological Stoichiometry is an indispensable resource for researchers, instructors, and students of ecology, evolution, physiology, and biogeochemistry. From the foreword by Peter Vitousek: ? "[T]his book represents a significant milestone in the history of ecology. . . . Love it or argue with it--and I do both--most ecologists will be influenced by the framework developed in this book. . . . There are points to question here, and many more to test . . . And if we are both lucky and good, this questioning and testing will advance our field beyond the level achieved in this book. I can't wait to get on with it."
