Description
Book Introduction
The mysterious properties of water come from hydrogen.

Water is an essential substance in our human lives.
But water is actually a very 'strange' substance.
For example, liquid water becomes ice (solid) at 0℃ and water vapor (gas) at 100℃.
In the realm of our daily lives, it is difficult to find a substance that exhibits three states—solid, liquid, and gas—that is similar to water.
And ice floats on water, which is a very rare property for a solid to be lighter than a liquid.
There are more than 40 'strange' properties of water.
Why does water possess these special properties? The reason lies in the special bonds between water molecules called "hydrogen bonds."
In other words, the mysterious properties of water come from hydrogen.
In this book, we will learn about 'water', the most basic element for sustaining life, and the core of 'hydrogen', which creates water's mysterious properties.
Chapter 1 first organizes the chemical and physical properties of water.
That is, we will learn in detail at the molecular level the basic properties of water, the orbits and structures of water molecules, hydrogen bonding, liquid, solid, and gaseous water, and the properties of ice and water surface.
Meanwhile, water has bestowed infinite grace upon our planet.
By existing stably on the surface of the Earth, it gave birth to and evolved life, and provided the climate in which we can live.
Chapter 2 examines how water sustains the Earth and life.
Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the properties of hydrogen.
It introduces how the special properties of hydrogen appear, including the birth of hydrogen, hydrogen in the universe, the discovery and properties of hydrogen, hydrogen compounds, acids and bases, etc.
The topic of Chapter 5 is ‘Hydrogen Energy Society.’
We will explore specific examples of how to realize a hydrogen energy society and the challenges that will arise in the process.
Water and hydrogen are essential substances for human life, as well as for a comfortable and safe lifestyle.
This book will provide a comprehensive overview of the core properties of water and hydrogen.

Publisher's Review
● ● ● See the invisible world of chemistry with your own eyes
The properties of water and hydrogen are determined through chemistry.
However, there are not many opportunities to see the development of chemistry around us with our own eyes.
This book, Water and Hydrogen, illustrates the various chemical processes that occur at the molecular and atomic levels with world-class, precise illustrations.
You can understand the progress of chemistry with your eyes.

● Properties of water: orbits of water molecules, structure, hydrogen bonding, liquid and solid water, properties of ice and water surface
‘Water’, which is inseparable from humans, is actually a very ‘strange’ substance.
There are many strange things to mention, such as ice (solid) floating on water (liquid) or having an unusually high melting point and boiling point.
Why does water have such unique properties compared to other substances? We explore the curious properties of water and how they came to be.

● Benefits of water: The birth of life, compounds, photosynthesis and water, blood, urine, sweat, water and climate, water on other planets
Our Earth is the only planet in the solar system with a stable surface filled with water.
Thanks to the properties of water, life on Earth was born, evolved, and a climate was created that made it possible for life to survive.
We examine the mechanisms by which water sustains the Earth and life.
It also introduces ingredients that are closely related to our body, such as blood, urine, sweat, and mineral water.


● Properties of hydrogen: The birth of hydrogen, hydrogen in the universe, discovery and properties of hydrogen, hydrogen compounds, acids and bases
It is hydrogen bonding that gives water its 'strange' properties.
Hydrogen atoms, which form hydrogen bonds, are also atoms with truly unique properties.
We will learn how hydrogen, which is very 'light' and 'freely transformable', was discovered and what its chemical properties are.
It also introduces the use of hydrogen ions in the definitions of acidity, neutrality, and alkalinity, as well as topics related to acidification in the body and acidification of the environment.

● Hydrogen energy: fuel cell vehicles, water electrolysis, fuel cells, hydrogen production and utilization
Hydrogen is receiving significant attention as a next-generation energy source that is both inexhaustible and environmentally friendly.
Additionally, fuel cells that use hydrogen as energy and fuel cell vehicles equipped with them are becoming more widespread.
However, securing hydrogen in large quantities at low cost is still difficult, and many challenges remain.
Learn about the technology and future challenges for using hydrogen as energy.

● Science book 'Newton Highlights Series'
Newton, a science magazine known for its outstanding graphics and high-quality commentary articles, selects only the key articles, reorganizes them by topic, and publishes them in the "Newton Highlights Series," a scientific monograph.
More than 100 sister books, including Theory of Relativity, What is an Earthquake, Differentiation and Integration, Periodic Table, and Visual Biology, are also selling well.
