Tessloff WAS IST WAS Naturwissenschaften easy! Chemie. Reaktiv!

What chemical reactions occur when frying eggs? How does color come into the crackling fireworks? And where do we encounter atomic compounds and chemical elements in everyday life? This non-fiction book from the series "What is What: Easy Natural Sciences!" focuses on temperature, sound, and energy in chemistry – sometimes with a lot of "bang," sometimes with a little. It vividly illustrates everything from the sticky, adhesive feet of geckos to launching rockets and fuel cells, showing how researchers have harnessed these for technology and research. Whether it's molecular bonds, biochemical processes, or reaction rates: with easy-to-understand explanations, numerous illustrations, and tangible examples, the topic of chemistry becomes a real blast!.
