Abstract:
Written for students beginning a formal study of chemistry, this volume encompasses many different topics in and approaches to introductory chemistry. Chapters are devoted to topics such as the atom, elements and the periodic table, bonding, equilibrium and kinetics, solutions, acids and bases, and chemical reactions. Several chapters discuss broad areas of chemistry including organic chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, and industrial chemistry. Annotation. Written for high school and college students enrolled in their first chemistry course, this textbook overviews the historical development of chemistry, introduces the principles that govern nomenclature, chemical bonding, acids and bases, equilibrium, kinetics, solutions, and gases, and explores several subdivisions of chemistry.
