Summary: Have you ever seen a fireworks display and wondered how it's possible to produce those beautiful, intricate designs in the air? Have you ever wondered why an ice cube floats in a glass of water? Did you know that the 'lead' in your pencil is made of the same substance (carbon) as the diamond in an engagement ring? Surely some of these things and many others in the world around you have intrigued you. We can answer these questions in convincing ways using the models of chemistry and the related physical and life sciences. This text will help you understand these phenomena, and will also help you succeed in your chemistry course. - Back cover
