作品詳細

[About the product]
This book starts with the periodic table of elements devised by Mendeleev and unveils how the discovery of radioactivity drew information from the periodic table, triggering the birth of modern chemistry. It traces the development of natural science from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, and also introduces some of the latest information in chemistry. In Chapter 8, it also touches on the negative aspects brought about by the discovery of radioactivity. A science book that can be enjoyed not only by scholars but also by general readers!
