"Nature's Notes: The Story of 118 Chemical Elements" was translated from the In Your Element column of "Nature Chemistry" by Nature Research. It is one of the few popular science books among all books that covers all 118 chemical elements that have been discovered so far. Each element is written by one of the scientists who has studied it most deeply in the world. It is professional, authoritative, lively and interesting. It is suitable for middle school students and above who are interested in chemical elements. This book is prefaced by the senior editor of Nature Chemistry.
Reader comments
It is no exaggeration to describe the ingenuity of nature as miraculous workmanship. This book is a popular science book about chemical elements. It takes chemical elements as the main line and tells the history, properties and applications of 118 elements. The author uses easy-to-understand language and vivid and interesting stories to introduce readers to various common and rare elements. For example, he talked about the discovery of hydrogen and its application in astronauts' food, the importance of iron and people's worship of it, how to extract radioactive substances from radium, and so on.
This is a fascinating popular science book that vividly tells the stories and wonders of chemical elements. The author shows readers the importance of elements in nature and human life by revealing their discovery history, properties and applications. With interesting stories and fascinating details, this book leads readers to gain an in-depth understanding of the unique properties and unique stories of each chemical element. From hydrogen to lanthanum, actinium to tungsten, each element has its own unique story and characteristics, and the author conveys this information to readers in easy-to-understand language.
It is my favorite popular science book. This book tells you a lot of chemistry-related knowledge, especially the elements. It is very thorough and uses very popular language, which will not make the solution obscure. For some particularly professional theoretical knowledge, it will also list special explanations and sources for you, so that you have a place to search and search. This is my favorite part of this book, because it's really thoughtful! I also look forward to letting students read this new book to stimulate their interest in learning chemistry. Education through entertainment is always a timeless topic!
This book has a very complete interpretation of the elements in the periodic table, with all 118 elements missing. This book should be regarded as a collection of popular science articles on the periodic table. More than 100 people participated in writing the entries for 118 elements. The elements or compounds of these elements may combine with human tissues, thereby destroying the normal operation and physiological metabolism of tissues, poisoning people, or causing serious damage to body cells due to strong radioactivity, and may even denature proteins, resulting in irreversible consequences. Each substance has its own unique role. Professional and authoritative, lively and interesting. It is suitable for middle school students and above who are interested in chemical elements.
There are more than one hundred basic metallic and non-metallic substances in nature. They are composed of only one kind of atom. Each nucleon in the atom has the same number of protons. They cannot be decomposed by ordinary chemical methods and can constitute all substances. British physicist Aston demonstrated in early 1921 that most chemical elements have different isotopes. The atomic weight of an element is the average of the isotope masses based on the mass fraction of the isotope that exists in nature.
I particularly enjoyed the book's content about the application and discovery process of elements, which reminded me of the fun experiences I had doing experiments in science class. Moreover, I think the authors of this book are really great and their knowledge is so rich! I want to learn from them, work hard to learn knowledge, and become a great person in the future!
