World of Science
|
| Summary/Abstract |
This book provides a comprehensive and unified account of the structure and properties of crystalline binary adducts. Perhaps better known as molecular complexes and compounds, these crystals are currently estimated (from molecular recognition studies) to make up one quarter of the world's crystals, providing evidence for some sort of special attraction between the two components. DNA is perhaps the most famous example but others (hydrates, solvates, host-guest inclusion complexes,donor-acceptor compounds) pervade the whole body of solid state chemistry.
Includes projects and questions at the end of every chapter.

| Summary/Abstract |
World of Science is ideal for teaching mixed-ability classes. Each students' book is differentiated into three main levels with a molecule symbol denoting the demand each task places on the student. The content-based approach ensures that a unit covers all the student needs to know for exam success and has the information needed for homework. Questions for students at the end of every chapter.
