beautiful,intricate designs in the air?Haveyou read about dinosaurs-how they ruled the earth for millions of yearsand then suddenly disappeared?Although the extinction happened65 million years ago and may seem unimportant,could the same thinghappen to us?Have you ever wondered why an ice cube(pure water)floats in a glass of water(also pure water)?Did you know that the“lead”  \nin your pencil is made of the same substance (car-bon)as the diamond in an engagement ring?Didyou ever wonder how a corn plant or a palm treegrows seemingly by magic,or why leaves turn beau-tiful colors in autumn?Do you know how the bat-tery works to start your car or run your calculator?Surely some of these things and many others in theworld around you have intrigued you.The fact is thatwe can explain allof these things in convincing waysusing the models of chemistry and the related phys-ical and life sciences.  \nFireworks are a beautiful illustrationof chemistry in action.  \n## 1.1Chemistry:An
