The principles of the periodic table, the starting point of chemistry, and the laws of chemistry are explained with over 400 illustrations and photographs.

The starting point of chemistry is the periodic table.
The basis of chemistry is elements, and the periodic table clearly organizes the properties and principles of elements, such as the arrangement of electrons.
Again, elements combine and react according to clear principles.
Therefore, if you make these basic principles your own, you will be fully prepared for any subsequent application.
This book, "Middle and High School Chemistry," explains all the content covered in middle and high school courses using over 400 illustrations and photographs.
You can make all the chemistry principles you learn in school your own by seeing them with your own eyes.


It is composed of unique graphics that help you understand the characteristics of elements at a glance, such as a three-dimensional periodic table.

The content of chemistry is made up of numerous elements, principles, and laws, such as elements, atoms, electrons, combinations of atoms, ions, and molecules, gases, liquids, and solids, acids, bases, and neutralization, oxidation, and reduction.
Visual aids play a crucial role in organizing and understanding these complex contents.
In "Middle and High School Chemistry," numerous principles of chemistry are visually presented using unique graphics developed through Newton's long-standing expertise, such as the three-dimensional periodic table.


Understand the invisible chemical changes with world-class illustrations and expert explanations.

It is not easy to understand what is invisible.
The more such a subject is, the more the importance of graphics is emphasized.
Newton Science Magazine is a science magazine known for conveying all fields of science with world-class graphics.
Newton's "Middle and High School Chemistry" also shows the process of chemical change with detailed drawings and photographs, as well as easy-to-understand explanations by experts.


A detailed explanation of the fundamentals and applications of organic chemistry, including the atoms, the source of matter, the combination of substances, and the ions, the main characters of chemical reactions.

『Middle and High School Chemistry』 is divided into a total of 5 chapters.
That is, atoms, the periodic table and elements, chemical bonds, ions and chemical reactions, and organic chemistry made of carbon.
Each of these contents is structured to start from the basics and gradually progress to the applied level.
As you visually understand each content through pictures, the overall structure of chemistry will be organized in your head.


The 122nd science book in the Newton Highlights series

The science magazine is publishing a new type of science book called the 'Newton Highlight Series' by reorganizing only the articles that received particularly high reader response by topic.
『Middle and High School Chemistry』 is the 122nd book, and is selling well along with 『Theory of Relativity』, 『Quantum Theory』, 『Brain and Neurons』, 『Differentiation and Integration』, and 『The Amazing World of Mathematics』.
