The Periodic Kingdom: A Journey Into the Land of the Chemical Elements (SCIENCE MASTERS) (English Edition) Kindle版
A 'travel guide' to the periodic table, explaining the history, geography and the rules of behaviour in this imagined land.
The Periodic Kingdom is a journey of imagination in which Peter Atkins treats the periodic table of elements - the 109 chemical elements in the world, from which everything is made - as a country, a periodic kingdom, each region of which corresponds to an element. Arranged much like a travel guide, the book introduces the reader to the general features of the table, the history of the elements, and the underlying arrangement of the table in terms of the structure and properties of atoms.
Atkins sees elements as finely balanced living personalities, with quirks of character and certain, not always outward, dispositions, and the kingdom is thus a land of intellectual satisfaction and infinite delight.

There are quite helpful graphics in Periodic Kingdom, mostly 3d charts with x and y being the familiar Periodic Table and the height showing size or ionization energy, or mass or density or some other physical property of an element. The 3d Periodic Tables are shown from different angles to make the points clear.
Useful stuff- the size of an atom, (the "diameter" around the 99% probability surface of the electron orbitals) increases as you go down the rows of the table, but also rises at the midpoint, near where the Transition Metals meet what this author calls the Eastern Island- adding electrons to the shells generally increases size but adding protons to the nucleus pulls in the orbitals. Those in the right hand side of the Transition Metals in each row are larger than the Alkali Metals as the left-most edge of their row AND larger than the Noble Gasses on the right-most edge. Surprise- Uranium is not the largest. Too many protons in the nucleus.
The writing is good enough to read out loud, and the thinking is clear. Anyone coming to the subject from a chemistry, physics or general science background will learn something and have a good time doing it.
