Understanding the elements of the periodic table

Discusses the transactinides, including dubnium, rutherfordium, hassium, and darmstadtium, examining their atomic structure, radioactivity, synthetic creation, properties, compounds, and names.

Discusses the oxygen elements, including sulfur, selenium, and polonium, covering their place on the periodic table, basic profiles, useful compounds, and usefulness in space exploration, electronic devices, and other applications.

An introduction to the noble gases--helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon--that provides information on their properties and explains how they are used in everyday life.

Discusses the halogen elements--fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine--covering topics such as atoms, subatomic particles, how to find and refine halogens, and their uses in compound form.

An exploration of the alkaline Earth metals that provides an overview of each one; discusses atoms, elements, and compounds; describes how scientists isolate them; and explores how they are used.

Explains the properties of helium and discusses its history and uses.

The nitrogen elements consist of Phosphorous, Arsenic, Antimony, and Bismuth. This book explains their properties, uses, history, and chemical makeup.

The Carbon elements consist of carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. This book illustrates the properties of each and how they are used in daily life, including in electronics, automotive parts, and medicine.

The Boron group consists of the elements Boron, Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, Thallium. This book covers their properties, histories, and uses, including their roles in medicine and manufacturing.

The alkali metals are a fascinating group of six elements that are necessary to life on Earth. The Alkali Metals explores the original discovery of these six elements, how they are classified on the periodic table, compounds, uses, and how these elements impact the reader individually.
