The fourth edition of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry, one of the earliest and best known books on the subject, has been fully updated with the latest developments in research and the current hot topics in the field.
To further enhance the functionality of this valuable text, the authors have added numerous teaching aids, including a website that features testing, examples in MathCAD with variable quantities and options, links to relevant text sections from the book, and self-grading tests.
Radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry examine radiation from atomic and molecular perspectives, including elemental transformation and reaction effects, as well as physical, health and medical properties. Students, instructors and professionals in engineering, chemistry, physics and medicine will benefit from this classic resource, from the history and fundamentals of the science to the current state of the art.
