This engaging course supports teaching of the Science framework both theoretically and practically, with full coverage of the Scientific Enquiry framework integrated throughout the series. This Coursebook for Stage 7 gives a thorough introduction to the concepts, and offers a wealth of ideas for hands-on activities to make the subject matter come to life.

    It provides a concise and relevant treatment of inorganic chemistry and is written with such clarity that it is undoubtedly among the easiest to read of its competitors." Content "Atomic structure and the Periodic table Introduction to bonding The ionic bond The covalent bond The metallic bond General properties of the elements Coordination compounds Hydrogen and the hydrides Group 1 - The alkali metals The chlor-alkali industry Group 2 - The alkaline earth elements The group 13 elements The group 14 elements The group 15 elements Group 16 - the chalcogens Group 17 - the halogens Group 18 - the noble gases An introduction to the transition elements Group 3 - The scandium group Group 4 - The titanium group Group 5 - The vanadium group Group 6 - The chromium group Group 7 - The manganese group Group 8 - The iron group Group 9 - The cobalt group Group 10 - The nickel Group.

    Includes chapters on orbital mechanics, spacecraft construction, satellite-path radio wave propagation, modulation techniques, multiple access, and a detailed analysis of the communications link.

    It's goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. This text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types. Simple ideas are treated first, and are then extended to the more complex.

    With pedagogical use of second color, it covers devices in one place so that circuit characteristics are developed early.

    Viraf J. Dalal is an excellent book for every student of ICSE Chemisty.

    It emphasizes forms suitable for students and researchers whose interest lies in solving equations rather than in general theory. Solutions to odd-numbered problems appear at the end. 1957 edition.

    The solved exercises cover all of the techniques discussed in the text, and include step-by-step instruction on working through the algorithms.

    Details from cell structure and genetics, to immunology and pathogenicity, to taxonomy and phylogeny are covered. Also, based on recent taxonomic advances in RNA analysis, a new organization also makes this the first text to be divided by the three cell domains--Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes.

    Examples of analytical techniques are drawn from such areas as life sciences, clinical chemistry, air and water pollution, and industrial analyses. New to this edition: Excel spreadsheets on CD-ROM * New chapters on good laboratory practice, as well as genomics and proteomics * A more modern flavor.

    

    * Enhanced sections throughout text provide much firmer foundation than the first edition. * Literature citations are given throughout for reference to additional material.

    Plus, it helps you identify areas of weakness so you can focus your study time. Sample problems and step-by-step examples with explanations in the math and physics sections show you how to work through each problem so you understand the steps it takes to complete the equation. Practice tests with answer keys for each topic - located in the appendices for quick access - help you assess your understanding of each topic and familiarize you with the types of questions you're likely to encounter on the actual exam. HESI Hints boxes offer valuable test-taking tips, as well as rationales, suggestions, examples, and reminders for specific topics.End-of-chapter review questions help you gauge your understanding of chapter content.A full-color layout and more illustrations in the life science chapters visually reinforce key concepts for better understanding.Expanded and updated content in each chapter ensures you're studying the most current content.Basic algebra review in the math section offers additional review and practice.Color-coded chapters help you quickly find specific topic sections.Helpful organizational features in each chapter include an introduction, key terms, chapter outline, and a bulleted chapter summary to help you focus your study.A glossary at the end of the text offers quick access to key terms and their definitions.
