Comment for "Truth And Beauty In Chemistry"

  I just read a book about chemistry named "Truth and Beauty in Chemistry", which talks about the difference between basic psysics and math. Of course, they have their own beauties. However, as the wirter says, the beauty of chemistry is most fantastic and interesting.
  Here is one example to tell why the wirter thinks chemistry is beautiful. All of the material in the picture are composed by four elments- carbon, hydrogen,nitrogen and oxygen. But the different sequences make them become different compounds. Its beauty appaars with its varieties.
  During the process of the reaction, the reactant will disappear and transform into another material. Such as the reaction that carbon is burn in the oxygen, they will generate carbon dioxide.
of course, this procedure is not beautiful. For another one, such as copper sulfate. When it contacts with water, it will be blue from white.
  It is beautiful, isn't it?
  As for its truth, people can just learn about every specific process when they familiar with the sequences of the material and the equation about the reaction.
