Discusses how physicists and chemists discovered that everything in the universe is made up of tiny particles called atoms and how atoms of different elements can join together to make new substances.
Explains how all matter is composed of atoms, which join together to form molecules, and how scientists have learned to release energy by splitting the atom.
Defines atoms and molecules; discusses elements, compounds, mixtures, and rocks; explains particle theory; and explores technological advances made through research of atoms and molecules. Includes a glossary and resources.
Provides an introduction to atoms and molecules; describing what they are, their structures, how they are measured, different states of matter, melting and boiling points, and the water cycle. Includes a glossary and a list of resources.
Presents an introduction to the basic concepts of chemistry, in simple text with illustrations, providing information on atoms, molecules, the periodic table of elements, chemical bonding, compounds, synthetics, and more.
