ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics

The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is a big book that has information about different chemicals and physical things. Imagine it like a really thick and heavy encyclopedia about science!

It has lots of tables and graphs that show you things like what the boiling point of a certain liquid is (that's when it starts turning into a gas), or how heavy something is compared to something else. It can also tell you what elements are in a chemical or what the chemical formula is.

Scientists and chemists use this book to help them with their research and experiments. It helps them understand what they are working with and how it behaves. It's like a cheat sheet for science!
