Title: An Introduction to the Periodic Table
Description: An example of this is can be seen when comparing a pack of sugar versus a sugar cube placed in water. A pack of sugar provides a greater surface area, as every sugar crystal will be in contact with the water. With a sugar cube, only the outer layer of sugar is in contact with the water and therefore capable of reacting.
