Description :
The 95th Edition of the Handbook includes new tables and major updates and expansions. A new series highlighting the achievements of some of the major historical figures in chemistry and physics was initiated with the 94th edition. This series is continued with this edition which is focused on Galileo Galilei, James Clerk Maxwell, Marie Sklodowska Curie, and Linus Carl Pauling. This series, which provides biographical information, a list of major achievements, and notable quotations attributed to each of the renowned chemists and physicists, will be continued in succeeding editions. Each edition will feature two chemists and two physU cists. The following new tables .have been added to this edition.
The 95th Edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is dedicated in memory of my wonderful and cherished
daughter, Jennifer "Jen" Lynn Haynes, who has gone to be with her angels and who has inspired many friends and family with
her endless love and respect for all animals and th'e natural beauty in our environment and has guided and challenged her
many friends and family with her boundless spirit and faith in the magic and wonders of the unknown of the spiritual world.
Note on the Ordering of Chemical Compounds: Several different ordering schemes for lists of chemical compounds are used in this book. The long tables, Physical Constants of Organic Compounds and Physical Constants of Inorganic Compound, are ordered by name {generally the systematic name), but indexes to synonyms, formulas, and CAS Registry Numbers,are available. If the table is very short and includes only familiar substances, the listing is usually alphabetical by name or common formula. Many tables of intermediate length are ordered by molecular formula using a modification of the Hill convention. In this convention the molecular formula is written with C first, H second, and then all other elements in alphabetical order of their chemical symbols. For tables with organic compounds only, the sequence of entries is determined by the alphabetical order of elements in the molecular formula and the number of atoms of each element, in ascending order, e.g., C3H?C1, C3H?N, C3H7NO, C3H7NO2, etc. {For organic compounds, a quick way to look up the molecular formula is to use the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds table, which starts on Page 3-1, and its synonym index on Page 3-554.) In tables containing non-carbon compounds, those are usually listed first, followed by a separate listing of compounds that do contain carbon. This is a departure from the strict Hill convention as followed by Chemical Abstracts Service, where the molecular formulas beginning with A and B precede the formulas for carbon-containing compounds, while those beginning with D... Z follow. For tabular displays, as opposed to an index, it appears more convenient to the user if the non-carbon compounds are listed as a block, rather than being split by the longer list of carbon compounds.
