McKinney DetailsDetails In ancient times, humans used lead in everything from cooking tools to water pipes to cosmetics. That was before scientists discovered that lead is poisonous for humans. Today lead is still useful, but we use it with more care in items that hold corrosive materials, like car batteries that hold acid, or to protect us from harmful radiation, like in X-ray machines or nuclear reactors. Pb is lead's symbol, from the Latin word "plumbum." This book will help students better understand the basics of chemistry as they learn what lead is and how this toxic, but important, metal is used in our world.Publication Date: 12/15/2018Copyright: 2019Pages: 48Trim Size: 7 1/4 x 9 1/4Illustrations: Age Level: 10–13Dewey: 546/.688--dc23FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9781978503663$27.93$20.95eBook9781978504233$27.93$20.95 Loading… Other books in Exploring the Elements 1234 Loading… Loading… eBook: 9781978504233 List Price: $27.93 Discount Price: $20.95 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9781978503663 List Price: $27.93 Discount Price: $20.95 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
