Its origins, scope, and organization -- Its principles : atoms and molecules -- Its principles : energy and entropy -- Its reactions -- Its techniques -- Its achievements -- Its future -- Periodic table. Most people remember chemistry from their schooldays as a subject that was largely incomprehensible, fact-rich but understanding-poor, smelly, and so far removed from the real world of events and pleasures that there seemed little point, except for the most introverted, in coming to terms with its grubby concepts, spells, recipes, and rules. Peter Atkins wants to change all that. In What is Chemistry? he encourages us to look at chemistry anew, through a chemist's eyes, to understand its central concepts and to see how it contributes not only towards our material comfort, but also to human culture -- Chemistry Popular works. 114725 Chemistry. fast 114726 Popular works. fast 114727 ddc BK 31793 31793 0 0 ddc 0 1 RUCL RUCL Reading 2014-07-23 Baatighar, Chittagong 940.50 0 540 ATW 2013 2014-12-31 00:00:00 C-1 2014-12-31 BK
