Description
Chemistry provides a robust coverage of the different branches of chemistry - with unique depth in organic chemistry in an introductory text - helping students to develop a solid understanding of chemical principles, how they interconnect and how they can be applied to our lives.
"Covers Physical Chemistry in an accessible format for first years...good for covering the gap between varied levels of knowledge from different schools' curricula and the mcuh more demanding University courses." - Dr Ritu Kataky, DEPT OF CHEMISTRY, UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM
