Description:

What is the difference between a base and an alkali? How do acids react with metals? What does the pH scale measure? This title explores what gives acids and bases their properties, how they react with each other, and how we use them in our everyday lives. You will also find several experiments that can be done at home.

The States of Matter series looks at important topics in chemistry such as solids, liquids and gases, changes of state, the water cycle, and mixing solids, liquids and gases. There are seven informative experiments that can be carried out at home, and useful diagrams, including the periodic table.
