A Guide To...Chemistry: Find Background Info

Provides a wealth of information on properties of inorganic and organic compounds "the composition and properties of various natural oils and fats, interatomic distances, heats of combustion for alternative fuels, gas hydrate properties, wind scales, solvent vapor pressures, and newly approved physical constants, and more."

Physical chemistry regarded through the synthetic point of view, from the smallest known particles of matter through elementary particles to atoms, molecules, states of matter and chemical reactions.

The Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistryis a cross-disciplinary reference work for all analytical chemists. All fields of chemical research are covered: analytical, organic, physical, polymer, inorganic biomedical, environmental, pharmaceutical, industrial, petroleum, forensics, and food science. The chemistry and techniques are described as performed in the laboratory (environmental, clinical, QC, research, university), in the field, or by remote sensing.

The electronic edition of this 10-volume set allows users to access information either through an alphabetical list or by subject area: Main Group Elements; Transition Metals and Coordination Chemistry; Organometallic Chemistry; Bioinorganic Chemistry; Solid State, Materials, Nanomaterials and Catalysis; and General Inorganic Chemistry, Theoretical and Computational Methods. Database includes an acronym finder.

This 20 volume set "written by international leaders in science and technology" covers "nearly 100 fields of science."

An encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs, and biologicals.
