FASCINATING FACTS, PHOTOS, AND STORIES OF THE ELEMENTS
Organized in order of appearance on the periodic table, each element is represented by a spread that includes a stunning, full-page, full-color photograph that most closely represents it in its purest form. For example, at -183°C, oxygen turns from a colorless gas to a beautiful pale blue liquid. Additional photographs show each element in slightly altered forms or as used in various practical ways that students quickly recognize.
