From science fair entrants to Nobel laureates, researchers around the world depend upon having access to authoritative, up-to-date data. And for nearly 90 years, they have relied on the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for that data.

This year is no exception. New tables, extensive updates, and added sections mean the Handbook has once again set a new standard for reliability, utility, and thoroughness. This CD-ROM edition contains all of the information found in the 83rd print edition, including the following outstanding features:

Standard Thermodynamic Properties of Chemical Substances-Thoroughly revised with new substances and updated values

Ionization constants for buffers used in biological research- New! Definitive data that allow the correct interpretation of experiments

Directory of Physical and Chemical Data Sources- New! A selective listing of the most reliable sources of physical and chemical properties data, including data journals, data centers, major handbooks, and Internet sites

Atomic weights-Updated with the latest changes adopted by IUPAC in 2001

Other refinements and new topics include:


Atomic and Molecular Polarizabilities Updated

Characteristic Bond Lengths in Free Molecules New!

Correction of Barometer Readings to 0°C Temperature New!

Electron AffinitiesUpdated

Eutectic Temperatures of Low-Melting Alloys New!

Nuclear Spins and Moments for NMR Spectroscopy Updated

Permittivity of Water as a Function of Temperature and Pressure New!

Sensitivity of the Human Eye to Light of Different Wavelengths New!
