Prepared by the IUPAC Physical Chemistry Division this definitive manual, now in its third edition, is designed to improve the exchange of scientific information among the readers in different disciplines and across different nations. This book has been systematically brought up to date and new sections added to reflect the increasing volume of scientific literature and terminology and expressions being used. The Third Edition reflects the experience of the contributors with the previous editions and the comments and feedback have been integrated into this essential resource. This edition has been compiled in machine-readable form and will be available online.

Alphabet picture book for general chemistry terms and concepts

Written by Stanley Manahan, Fundamentals of Sustainable Chemical Science has been carefully designed to provide a basic introduction to chemistry, including organic chemistry and biochemistry, for readers with little or no prior background in the subject. Manahan, bestselling author of many environmental texts, presents the material in a practical

VErBAl ReAcTiONS are a new form of word scrambles with a chemical flavor. You don't need to know any science to be able to solve VErBAl ReAcTiONS puzzles, but the puzzles bear a resemblance to chemical reactions. EXAMPLE: Es + 2 S + P + Si + 2 O + N --> __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ . This VErBAl ReAcTiON is a word scramble consisting of one Es, two S's, one P, one Si, two O's, and one N. That is, the word scramble contains the elements Es, S, S, P, Si, O, O, and N. Unscramble these elements to form an 8-symbol word (that's why there are 8 blanks in the puzzle). ANSWER: For this puzzle, the answer is P O S S Es Si O N (possession). These VErBAl ReAcTiONS resemble chemical reactions in two ways. First, the scrambled elements appear added together on the left of the reaction with coefficients (like the number 2 in the puzzle above) telling you how many of each element the solution contains, and you fill in the result of the VErBAl ReAcTiON by rearranging the elements and writing them on the blanks on the right side of the reaction. Secondly, all of the solutions are chemical words. A chemical word is a word that can be made using symbols from the periodic table. For example, the chemical word POSSEsSiON is made using the symbols for phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), Einsteinium (Es), silicon (Si), and nitrogen (N). You don't need to be familiar with the periodic table to solve these problems; nor do you need to know any chemistry. You just need to be able to count and unscramble elements to make words. This 'Medium' volume consists of words with 6 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 6 to 12 letter words. A unique feature of this book is that there is a Hints section at the back separate from the Answers section, for puzzlers who may be stuck and want to check just the first letter of the solution. MORE EXAMPLES: (1) S + Ni + Ge + U --> __ __ __ __ . (2) 2 C + N + 2 I + P --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . (3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y --> __ __ __ __ __ . (4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . You can find the answers below. Note that this medium volume consists of chemical words with 6 symbols. There are also easy and hard puzzles (available in separate volumes), which consist of shorter and longer chemical words. ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC (4) SUCCEsS.

This 'Hard' volume consists of words with 7 to 8 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 8 to 14 letter words. Other 'Medium' and 'Easy' volumes consist of shorter words. A unique feature of this book is that there is a Hints section at the back separate from the Answers section, for puzzlers who may be stuck and want to check just the first letter of the solution. MORE EXAMPLES: (1) S + Ni + Ge + U --> __ __ __ __ . (2) 2 C + N + 2 I + P --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . (3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y --> __ __ __ __ __ . (4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . You can find the answers at the end of this paragraph. Note that this hard volume consists of chemical words with 7 to 8 symbols, which are longer than the examples shown here. We recommend starting with our easy or medium puzzles before tackling these hard puzzles (available in separate volumes). ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC (4) SUCCEsS.
