The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has always provided a thorough range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, one-volume format. Over the last 10 years, revisions to the book have supported the advances in semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors; addressed environmental concerns by providing data on pollutants, contaminants, global warming, and ground water contamination. In the last several years, the handbook has added, revised, or updated 95% of its information.
This CD-ROM edition contains all of the information found in the 82nd print edition, including the following new topics:
Redox data on biochemical compounds
Surface tension of common compounds with water as a function of concentration
Viscosity of carbon dioxide
Optical properties of materials such as binary semiconductors
Interstellar molecules
Radio frequency allocations
Tables updated in the 82nd edition include:
Physical Constants of Inorganic Compounds-expanded by 15%
Critical temperatures and pressures of fluids
Solubility of organic compounds in water
Atomic weights and natural abundances of isotopes-latest official recommendation from IUPAC
Polymer nomenclature
Threshold limits for airborne pollutants
Chemical carcinogens
