Silberberg Martin S. Principles of General Chemistry

2nd edition. — The McGraw-Hill Companies, 2010. — 917 p. — ISBN 978–0–07–351108–5.Silberberg’s Principles of General Chemistry offers students the same authoritative topic coverage as its parent text, Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change. The Principles text allows for succinct coverage of content with minimal emphasis on pedagogic learning aids. This more straightforward approach to learning appeals to today’s efficiency-minded, value-conscious instructors and students without sacrificing depth, clarity, or rigor.Keys to the Study of Chemistry
