[.ca] Exploring Chemical Elements and Their Compounds (ISBN 0830630155)

Wow:
This is one of the few books i've found that tells you where the symbols for each element comes from. An interesting read, and useful..

This book got me hooked on chemistry!:
This book is the best book on the elements. It covers ever area that I could think of, from historical background, properties, production, and compounds. The book is so in depth and doesn't miss a thing. It is also beneficial because it gives basic information like atomic weight, boiling point, specific gravity, and oxidation state (and many other things). It just has all the information that you could need. Even for obscure elements no one has ever heard of before, it covers a lot of information. This could be used for personal reference and I would even recommend it for school. Reading it will help better understand the roll of the elements and chemistry in our lives.

Informative:
This book is good for doing an Element Project, I has many Information About Each elements from the Periodic Table. But If I'll be more update it will be better, because The elements are discovering and there are some new elements. Also if this book will has some guildlines in which this book was about, it would be better, Since this book is for 12-up, more guildlines about how to read this book will be very useful to understand information from the book.

An excellent source for factual information on each element!:
This book does a great job covering the elements. The layout is good but could be organized a bit better. Actual pictures of the elements would be nice. This would be a great book to translate into a CD-ROM (hint hint! :
