The Periodic Table

Catalog description

The Periodic Table: A survey course that expounds the principles of periodicity in the descriptive chemistry of the elements. Among the areas covered will be the alkali earth metals, the carbon/silicon/germanium/tin and lead group, the chemistry of nitrogen, phosphorus, and the halogen. Where possible, pertinent technical applications of the elements, and materials derived from them, will be presented, e.g., medicinal, inorganic polymer, and semi-conductor applications.
