An introduction to the periodic table of elements, showing how the experiments of scientists J.J. Thomson and Ernest Rutherford led to the discovery of subatomic particles and the development of concepts of nuclear theory.
"Our world is a diverse place. It is covered with growing plants, flowing rivers, and roaring winds. And it's all made of matter. Even you and this book are made of matter. Matter can be broken into tiny pieces. These pieces fit together to shape the world"--Provided by publisher.
Explains the history of the atomic theory that states that all matter is composed of tiny units called atoms, constantly in motion and consisting of even smaller particles, from early work by Irish chemist Robert Boyle in 1680 through the atomic bomb and on to microchips and laser technology.
Presents an introduction to the periodic table of elements, showing how scientits Thomson and Rutherford discovered subatomic particles and development concepts of nuclear theory.
Looks at atoms, how they are the building blocks of matter, and how they combine to form molecules. Features an interactive question-and-answer format and hands-on activities.
