Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Describes the major theories which account for the observed properties of the elements and their compounds. The author makes a conscious effort not to concentrate on the descriptive aspects and omit the theoretical basis.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-280) and index.
