Synopsis
Chemical Bonds Modern life requires a mind-boggling array of materials. A simple drinking cup, for example, might be made of styrofoam or paper or glass. Home storage cabinets can be made of metal or wood or plastic. Space shuttles are assembled from silicon, steel, and hundreds of other materials. All of these items owe their properties to the chemical bonds between the atoms that make up different substances. Chemical Bonds examines the nature of these bonds and answers fundamental questions about how they form, how they are broken, and how they help define life as we know it.
