chemical reactions

Describes the properties and uses of chemicals, how a solid changes to a liquid or gas, and how chemicals combine to make substances we use every day.

This book amply illustrates the accessibility, relevance, and gee-whiz fun of chemical reactions.

Presents a short study of chemical change and includes facts on how the human body changes food into energy, how rust eats away metal, what makes fireworks, and more.

Shows how chemical reactions are relevant to everday life and suggests several experiments.

A color-illustrated introduction to the science of materials that discusses chemical reactions, physical changes, and other related topics, and includes instructions for experiments, a glossary, and a further-reading list.

Presents several examples of chemical change in nature and elsewhere, including a leaf's change of color in the fall, the toasting of a marshmallow, and the rusting of a bike.

Discusses the properties of different materials, metal extraction, refining techniques, and metal uses of the future, and includes hands-on investigations.

Photographs, illustrations, and diagrams describe chemical reactions, how they work, what they can do, and why they are important.

Explains how different kinds of chemical reactions ranging from precipitation and combustion to polymerization and catalysis are formed, including examples, color illustrations, and real-life applications for each reaction.

An exploration of chemical reactions that covers atomic structure, bonding, the different types of chemical bonds, and reaction rates, and discusses how chemical reactions are used in digestion, to diagnose diseases, and to solve crimes.
