This book continues to deal with both basic material and highlights from the previous two editions; it also includes a new chapter (Chapter 11) devoted exclusively to biochemistry. Further discussions on the element has been included in the appendices that cover the literature and nomenclature of phosphorus compounds; hazards of common phosphorus compounds; properties of white phosphorus, phosphine PH3, and orthophosphoric acid; composition of strong phosphoric acids; solutions; composition of phosphate buffer solutions; and atomic data for the elements. This text is intended for students with a reasonable knowledge of general chemistry to acquire the necessary groundwork before undertaking detailed searching of the literature or reading highly specialized reviews. This edition also serves as a reference text and guide to advanced study for research workers and technologists with interests in related fields.
