Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Aiming to offer an accessible introduction to one of the most difficult for beginners areas of chemistry, this primer covers a wide range of material in a succinct, easy-to-understand format. The first two chapters cover the structure of atoms, ions, and molecules. The next few chapters discuss such important issues as chemical reactivity, kinetics, and equilibria, while the final chapter deals with more advanced subject matter, drawing on imaginative examples from the outside world. Aware of the fact that beginners are easily intimidated by complex mathematical formulas, the authors have striven to keep quantitative aspects to a mininmum throughout.
