CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 76th Edition

More about the book

For decades, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has served the scientific and engineering communities globally, providing essential and critically evaluated data for rapidly evolving technical fields. Recent revisions have focused on semiconductors, high-temperature superconductors, and environmental issues, including pollutants and global warming, while aligning with IUPAC standards. The Handbook's Editorial Advisory Board, composed of leading experts, ensures that the content meets the needs of various fields and remains current. A key feature of the latest edition is a thoroughly updated table of Physical Constants of Inorganic Compounds, which includes 2,382 compounds selected for their laboratory, industrial, and environmental significance, as well as their relevance to trends in physical properties within the periodic table. The table emphasizes frequently encountered inorganic substances and includes compounds of current interest, like buckminsterfullerenes, known for their technological applications. Data is meticulously verified against reliable sources, with major references provided. Compounds are organized by common name for easy access, and each entry includes synonyms, CAS Registry Numbers, molecular weights, and key physical properties. Cross-references to other relevant tables enhance the reader's understanding by linking to additional information such as heats of formation, vaporization, and optical pro
