Matter - Chris Cooper

It is all around us - we are made of it - everything
everywhere is made up of some form of matter. Some of the earliest scientific experiments attempted to find out what the things around us are made of
and today we are still discovering new forms and combinations of matter.
In theory
the total amount of mass and energy
or matter
in the universe never changes. In this book you will see all the different forms that matter can take
the properties of liquids
solids
and gases
the structure of crystals
and how we order the elements in the periodic table. See how carbon is present in millions of different compounds
and learn about molecular and atomic structure.
Featuring historic scientific apparatus and ground-breaking experiments and discoveries
Matter is a unique and exciting introduction to this fascinating subject.
