The Basics of Chemical Reactions
The chemical reactions that shape the world are sometimes simple and sometimes complex, which is at the very core of this informative text. This volume explores the simplicity of basic chemical reactions and then builds to the more complex, giving readers a history of the years and the minds that contributed to the research that led to chemistry as we know it today. Biographical sidebars provide unique information about scientists who are valued in the field but are often not widely known.
