Potassium nitrate crystals
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) crystals, as seen through a light microscope. These large crystals form by slow cooling of the crystallizing solution

Methane hydrate. Computer model of the structure of methane hydrate, also known as methane ice or methane clathrate. It consists of a molecule of methane

Diamond crystal, molecular model. Diamond is a form of the element carbon. Each carbon atom (blue) in a diamond molecule is positioned at the centre of a tetrahedron

Manganese compounds on watchglasses. The colours and appearance show the difference in oxidation state of the manganese in potassium manganate (VII) (KMnO4, lower left), manganese (IV) oxide (MnO2)

Copper carbonate (CuCO3) powder in a crucible. It is a toxic green solid, which is soluble in acids but insoluble in water and alcohol

Copper (II) oxide (CuO) powder in a crucible. This black solid is soluble in acids, forming blue solutions of cupric salts

Damp magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is an inorganic compound consisting of one magnesium and two chloride ions. It is an eye and skin irritant and should be kept away from moisture

One mole of carbon. Carbon powder being weighed out on a balance. 12 grams of carbon is 1 mole. A mole is a chemical unit of measurement that shows the number of molecules or atoms present

Copper, mercury & magnesium
Copper, mercury and magnesium metals. Copper (lower left) is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It is used mainly in water pipes and electrical cables

Aluminium turnings. This pile of aluminium weighs 27 grams and represents one mole of the element. The atomic weight of aluminium is 27

Silicon. Lump of silicon, a chemical element with the symbol Si. It is a semi-metallic element, and belongs to group 14 of the periodic table

Transition metals. In general, the transition metal elements are hard and inert, and have high melting points. Some are strongly magnetic, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel

Period 3 elements. From left (in their periodic table order) they are: sodium (Na); magnesium (Mg); aluminium (Al); silicon (Si); phosphorus (P)

Volcanic blocks, Cerberus Palus, Mars. Coloured satellite image of disrupted terrain in Cerberus Palus, near the equator of Mars. This region is covered with ancient lava

Ice, molecular model
Ice. Molecular model showing the hexagonal structure of ice. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: hydrogen (white) and oxygen (red)

Lead oxide crystals on lead, SEM
Lead oxide crystals, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Lead is a heavy, soft, ductile metal that, under normal conditions, does not react with water

Phenol crystals on a watchglass. Phenol (C6H5OH), an aromatic alcohol, is a crystalline solid. It dissolves in water, forming a weakly acid solution, carbolic acid. Phenol is corrosive and poisonous

Salt on scales, image 2 of 3. The scales, also known as a top pan balance, show that the salt has a mass of 5 grams. This is part of a sequence showing that dissolved solids retain thir mass
