Foundations of College Chemistry

This book's open format and patient writing style make chemistry accessible to all beginning students. The authors help students understand topics, boosting their confidence with problems and exercise sets. The practical aspects of chemistry are emphasized early in the book, leaving the more theoretical aspects for later. Chemistry is presented as a vital, coherent, and interesting subject. This alternate edition covers the first 17 chapters of the main text. Three chapters omitted: nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry.
