Written in a question and answer format, this book explains the chemical principles behind 103 ordinary events and products, such as why ice cubes are cloudy in the middle and how light bulbs are frosted. General, accessible explanations are accompanied by technical explanations using chemical principles, so the appeal is wide and the book can be used as a stimulus for general chemistry students, both majors and non-majors. The second edition adds questions related to organic chemistry.
