Looking for a Comprehensive Guide on Green Chemistry? Any Book Recommendations?

AI Thread Summary
Green chemistry focuses on the design and application of chemical products and processes that minimize hazards to human health and the environment. It aims to eliminate or reduce the use and generation of harmful substances. The discussion emphasizes the need for a clear definition of green chemistry to maintain focus. Participants suggest exploring various resources, including books and references, to enhance understanding of the topic. The Wikipedia article on green chemistry is recommended for additional information. There is also a query about the nature of the project, whether it involves writing an essay, conducting a survey, or performing a laboratory project, indicating the need for tailored resources based on the project's format.

TL;DR Summary
I'm an undergraduate and I'm supposed to make a project on "Green Chemistry".so if you guys have any suggestions for a good book?

What, per se, is Green Chemistry?
We should have a definition first so we don't go off on tangents.

What, per se, is Green Chemistry?
Green chemistry is a new technique devoted to the synthesis, processing, and application of chemical
materials in such manner as to minimize hazards to humankind and the environment.
or we can also say that ,
Green chemistry is the strategy of designing chemical products and processes in a way that eliminates or reduces the use and generation of substances which are hazardous to heath and environment.

kindly suggest book that i could read or any refrences or topics that i could include.
Thank You.

Not one technique but a battery of quite different ones, all with the same objective of finding far less polluting or unhealthy of energetically wasteful production or uses of chemicals.

By 'project' do you mean an essa, survey, or laboratory project?
 
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
