Here, Professor Quadbeck-Seeger, a long-serving member of the board at BASF, goes in search of these and other questions. Based on the periodic table, the key reference source for any natural scientist, he explains the criteria that define an element's position in the table and are responsible for its particular characteristics. In a clear and concise manner, he describes for each element the story behind its discovery, its physical and chemical properties as well as its role in our everyday lives. Enriched by a wealth of interesting details, this beautifully designed book in full color represents not only varied reading, but also a treasure trove of surprising facts.
Ideally combined with the "Historical Periodic Table" poster, this book is aimed at younger audiences and is thus particularly suitable for schools, lectures and other courses.
Reviews / Votes
"Mit einer Fülle von Details beschreibt Hans-Jürgen Quadbeck-Seeger, ehemaliger Forschungsvorstand der BASF und Präsident der Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh), die Geschichte von jedem Element, seine Entdeckung und seine physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften. Der Autor schrieb kein Lehrbuch, eher ein >Buch des Wissens<, aus dem sich viel erfahren und lernen lässt...Das Buch wendet sich an alle naturwissenschaftlich Interessierten und vor allem auch an das junge Publikum. Es ist hervorragend geeignet für Schule, Vorlesungen und andere Studienveranstaltungen."PZ- Pharmazeutische ZeitungMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
