More than 250 new terms reflect modern chemical nomenclature and the most up-to-date information on properties of the elements. An extensive Appendix contains information about the chemical elements, fundamental constants, elementary particles, the periodic table, the Greek alphabet, and other often-consulted information. More than 50 line drawings illustrate many complex structures, and extensive cross- references guarantee that no user will waste time searching for the right definition.
