Description and Table of Contents

Description

In this new edition of the fundamentals textbook for science students maintains the conversational writing style that made the previous editions so popular, while including up-to-date treatments of important and current topics. Emphasis is put on descriptive chemistry - chemical reactions and properties - while maintaining a solid treatment of chemical principles. Common chemicals are used, whenever possible, both theoretical discussions and in problems and exercises. Each chapter begins with a brief table of contents, and each section begins with a preview of topics covered. Chapters include frequent margin comments, figures, and photographs.
