CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (86th ed., 2005-2006)

For more than 90 years, researchers around the world have relied on the "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics" for authoritative, up-to-date data.

This year will be no exception. New tables, extensive updates, and added sections mean the "Handbook" again sets a new standard for reliability, utility, and thoroughness.

This edition includes seven new tables: Vapor Pressure of the Metallic Elements; Electrical Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions; Proton Affinities; Electron Inelastic Mean Free Paths; Selected Properties of Semiconductor Solid Solutions; Vapor Pressures (Solvent Activities) for Binary Polymer Solutions; and, Density of Sulfuric Acid.

Substantial revisions and extensive updates of more than 20 tables include: NIST Atomic Transition Probability Tables, Summary Tables of Particle Properties, Threshold Limits for Airborne Contaminants, Bond Dissociation Energy, Standard Transformed Gibbs Energy of Formation for Important Biochemical Species, Sources of Physical and Chemical Data appendix, and more!

The 86th edition also marks a fresh look for the "Handbook".A larger format and new layout makes it easier to read and a new typeface makes the tables and diagrams crystal clear.
