Aydin Muhammet, Eksi Bülent Yener, Nazli Ayhan, Yildirim Osman. Introduction to Chemistry II

Zambak, 2005. — ISBN: 975-266-030-4.Chemistry is an interesting and fundamental branch of science because it gives us the chance to explain the secrets of nature. What is water? What do we use in our cars as fuel? What is aspirin? What are perfumes made of? Many of these kinds of questions and their answers are all part of the world of chemistry. There is no industry that does not depend upon chemical substances: petroleum, pharmaceuticals, garment, aircraft, steel, electronics, agricultural, etc. This book helps everyone to understand nature. However, one does not need to be a chemist or scientist to understand the simplicity within the complexity around us. The aim was to write a modern, up-to-date book where students and teachers can get concise information about the structure of substances. Sometimes reactions are given in detailed form, but, in all, excessive detail has been omitted. The book is designed to introduce basic knowledge about fundamental chemistry. Chemists work everyday to produce new compounds to make our lives easier with the help of this basic knowledge. In the design, emphasis has been placed upon making the book student friendly. Throughout the books, colorful tables, important reactions, funny cartoons, interesting extras and reading passages are used to help explain ideas. We hope that after studying this book, you will find chemistry in every part of your life.
