Summary:

The second edition of this widely acclaimed reference book collects together in a single volume the most important facts about all the chemical elements. Whilst retaining the alphabetical, easy-to-use format of the first edition, the opportunity has been taken to update information and to add a new section on environmental properties to go alongside the existing ones on the chemical, physical, nuclear, and electron-shell properties of the elements. All numerical data are given in SI units, and these are explained in an introduction which also explains how they can be converted to other commonly used units. At the end of the book is a series of tables listing selected properties, both in order of the elements and in rank order of the property.
