Everyday substances, chemical wonders

Archie Frederick Collins introduces chemistry through familiar materials and practical phenomena, starting with air and water before moving through acids, salts, metals, alloys, gases, and explosives. The closing topics widen the scope to coal tar, photography, artificial diamonds, radium, and the electric blast furnace. Its subject-by-subject range connects ordinary substances with industrial processes and technologies, giving the book the shape of a broad introduction rather than a guide to one branch of chemistry. A separate high-school chemistry study guide is also listed as available for this title.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults seeking an introductory survey of chemistry
  • Readers interested in the chemistry of everyday materials and industrial applications
  • Homeschool students using the associated high-school chemistry study guide
