It sinks in air because it has a high density as is therefore often found in the basements of homes, particularly in areas where with a lot of shale and boulders in the soil. Radon results from the radioactive decay of radium in the soil, and it further decays to produce radioactive daughters including polonium and lead.

It also defines hydrocarbons, classifying them into aliphatic and aromatic types, with a focus on alkanes, which consist solely of single covalent bonds. The text outlines naming conventions for straight-chain alkanes and provides a table of the first ten alkanes in the series.

It explains the concept of molar heat of combustion, which measures the energy released during combustion reactions involving carbon and oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water. The molar heat of combustion for ethanol is noted as 1370 kJ/mol, and bomb calorimetry is mentioned as a method for this measurement.
