In a clear and accessible form, the book tells how chemistry was born and how it developed. The author shares many interesting facts about molecules and atoms, isomerism and radicals, electrolysis and catalysis, valency and radioactivity, as well as the periodic table of Mendeleev—explaining the meaning of complex theoretical ideas in an understandable way. Readers will also embark on an exciting journey into related fields—physical chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, and biochemistry.
