This book explains things that I have heard over and over and over again in college chemistry classes (4 semesters) but yet did not totally grasp. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a solid foundation in chemical principles or to anyone who has been frustrated and tormented in conventional chemistry class, both college and high school. It is thorough, easy to understand and chock full of examples. It has problems and solutions for each chapter, and excellent, detailed coverage of all the math you need for chemistry.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e See https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HLRwrR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChemistry for Success: Concepts and Calculations for General Chemistry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an extensively updated and modernized version of the previous book reviewed above. It is designed to help prepare you to take a two-semester or a three-quarter general chemistry course or an AP chemistry course. It will help you acquire the problem-solving skills and a conceptual understanding of atoms and molecules that are needed for such courses. Mastering this book will get you on your way to thinking like a chemist and calculating like a chemist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo previous background in chemistry is assumed or needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book represents the insight gained by the author in teaching general chemistry for over 35 years to students with various levels of preparation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt has many unique features that remedy the problems most students have learning chemistry, while at the same time keeping a clear and friendly conversational tone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is ideal for self-study or it can be used as the textbook in a course. It would also be useful for high school chemistry and AP chemistry as a textbook supplement. In a course where self-study before coming to class is required (called a “flipped classroom structure”), this would be an ideal book in conjunction with the material assigned by the instructor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has over 500 worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems for you to solve At the end of the book there is a glossary in which you can look up the definitions of terms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a study aid, complete worked-out solutions to all the end-of-chapter problems can be found at the back of the book.
