It uses full-colour illustration of the periodic table and shows the chemical symbol for each element in place, alongside its neighbours. Chemical formulae for common compounds are also shown. Information boxes and tables contain listings of facts and figures. Chemical reactions are interpreted as word equations, and timelines chart the history and discovery of the elements This title explores the extraordinary nature of carbon and its part in the life of animals and plants. It also looks at the unique way carbon atoms join with each other and other elements to form a vast number of different compounds.
