Blackman A., Bottle S., Schmid S., Mocerino M., Wille U. (Eds.) Chemistry

2nd Edition. — Wiley, 2012. — 1229 p. — ISBN: 978-1-74246-707-8The second edition of this market leading textbook, with a multimedia–integrated approach to the presentation of Chemistry for University students! This is the second edition of this market leading text book. The text and digital package is engineered to cater for the content needs of the first year chemistry course as it is generally taught at universities. The success of the 1 st edition has been attributed to the student friendly and engaging writing style, the relevance to real life, and the clear worked examples; which all help demystify chemistry for the 1 st year student. Following its success, the first edition was rigorously reviewed, and enhancements made to both the text and the digital resources. The 2nd edition has been enriched in both the text (by addition of new Main Groups chapter and other minor improvements).Resources
