Burdge J.R. Chemistry

2nd Edition. — McGraw-Hill, 2011. — 1121 p.Welcome to the exciting and dynamic world of Chemistry! My desire to create a new general chemistry textbook grew out of my concern for the interests of students and faculty alike. Having taught general chemistry for many years and having helped new teachers and future faculty develop the skills necessary to teach general chemistry, I believe I have developed a distinct perspective on the common problems and misunderstandings that students encounter while learning the fundamental concepts of chemistry — and that professors encounter while teaching them. I believe that it is possible for a textbook to address many of these issues while conveying the wonder and possibilities that chemistry offers. With this in mind, I have tried to write a text that balances the necessary fundamental concepts with engaging real-life examples and applications, while utilizing a consistent step-by-step problem-solving approach and an innovative art and media program.Chemistry: The Central Science
