Chemical Compounds 3 volumes

Water; sugar; nylon; vitamin C. These substances are all very different from each other. But they all share one property in common: They are all chemical compounds. A chemical compound consists of two or more chemical elements, joined to each other by a force known as a chemical bond. This book describes 180 chemical compounds, some familiar to almost everyone, and some less commonly known. Each description includes some basic chemical and physical information about the compound, such as its chemical formula, other names by which the compound is known, and the molecular weight, melting point, freezing point, and solubility of the compound.
