The Basics of Energy and Reactions

Description

The concepts covered in this title will surely get a reaction out of any student. Readers learn about heat and chemical processes, entropy, and catalysts, among other concepts. More exciting, however, they discover how these chemical processes work in real life, such as how chemical reactions lift a shuttle into space or how lifting weights builds muscle. Also included is a profile of Isaac Newton, whose findings on energy form the basis of physics and chemistry as we know them today.
