Book details
Allan B. Cobb - Author
A science-focused introduction to nonmetals connects periodic-table concepts with recognisable applications, such as fuel cells, diamonds and carbon dating, while adding a scientist’s biography.
This title will bring to life any student bored with this essential subject dealing with the nonmetals on the periodic table. Readers will be fascinated by the "Chemistry in Action" fact boxes about how nonmetals work in real life, such as how hydrogen is used in car fuel cells, how carbon is what diamonds are made of, and how carbon dating is used to determine the age of substances. The vivid imagery and illustrations will further entice readers along with a biography section profiling Henry Cavendish, discoverer of hydrogen.

The book connects nonmetals with technologies, materials and scientific dating methods.
A biography section profiles Henry Cavendish in connection with the discovery of hydrogen.
Pay attention to how the book links individual nonmetals to technologies, materials and scientific methods; these connections may make the periodic-table topic more concrete.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
