Chemistry

A colorful, pedagogically enhanced standard textbook for the introductory course. It begins with atomic structure, proceeds next to bonding and molecules, then to bulk physical properties of substances, and ends with a study of chemical properties. Each chapter concludes with a brief description of an interesting application or extension of the chapter subject, a summary, a list of key words, and a large number of problems. Many student-oriented supplements are available. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
