General Chemistry

The fourth edition of this book continues the tradition of presenting only the material that is essential for a one-year general chemistry course. As before, the text includes all the core topics that are necessary for a solid foundation in general chemistry without sacrificing depth, clarity or rigour. The fourth edition features new macro to micro art, 11 new animations correlated to the text, and the addition of hand sketched worked examples that are unique to Dr. Chang's texts. The book is 200 to 300 pages shorter than traditional two-semester textbooks and is much less expensive. Dr. Chang's concise but thorough approach will appeal to efficiency-minded instructors and will please value-conscious students.
