This series uses a common or well-known element to look at the groups of the periodic table and to show the similarities and differences between elements. 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.

Chemical reactions are interpreted as word equations, and timelines chart the history and discovery of the elements This title covers the extensive range of naturally occurring calcium compounds, their diverse and useful properties and their numerous applications from the building and steel industries to health and medicine. It describes the trends in chemical reactivity down the group from beryllium to magnesium to radium and the extraction of these elements from a wide variety of mineral ores and precious stones.

Cover of The Periodic Table: Oxygen and Group 6 Elements
This series uses a common or well-known element to look at the groups of the periodic table and to show the similarities and differences between elements. 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 illustrates how oxygen is essential for the survival of most living things. How oxygen forms at least one compound with almost every other element is explored, making it the most common element in the Earth's crust. The properties of the gas are also compared with the other elements in the group, such as the solid sulphur, which is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid - the most widely produced chemical in the whole world.

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. Other elements in the group, such as germanium, tin and lead, are investigated, and the way that they have impacted on the electronics, communications and petroleum industries is explored.

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 investigates why noble gases are the only gases found as single atoms and why they don't even react with themselves. It guides you through the discovery and isolation of each gas and recent experiments by scientists to make noble gas compounds. It also explains why helium balloons float, neon lights glow and argon atmospheres protect metals from air.

Chemical reactions are interpreted as word equations, and timelines chart the history and discovery of the elements This title covers the properties of the first section of transition metals in the periodic table (which includes naturally occurring and artificially made elements), the trends that develop across the period and how the slow nature of the chemical reactions compare with other elements. Typical examples are chromium, molybdenum and manganese, which form coloured compounds, make strong alloys with other elements and provide good catalysts.

This title covers the properties of the second section of transition metals in the periodic table (which includes naturally occurring and artificially made elements), the trends that develop across the period and the slow nature of their chemical reactions in comparison with other elements. Typical examples are copper silver and gold, the so called coinage metals whose properties and qualities that are useful as well as highly decorative and prized in jewellery and display items.
