General Chemistry: Principles and Structure

By James E. Brady and Gerard E. Humiston

Book Overview

The Fifth Edition retains the pedagogical strengths that made the previous editions so popular, and has been updated, reorganized, and streamlined. Changes include more accessible introductory chapters (with greater stress on the logic of the periodic table), earlier introduction of redox reactions, greater emphasis on the concept of energy, a new section on Lewis structures, earlier introduction of the ideal gas law, and a new development of thermodynamics. Each chapter ends with review questions and problems.

excellent

I've always liked Brady and Humiston's General Chemistry text. Very simple, straightforward book. 2nd edition was very nice - it included a stereoscopic viewer so you could see certain figures in 3D!

The mount Everest of the Chemistry texts !

If you want to establish an authentic rapport and absolute dmain of the basic principles of this Science Fundamental Discipline , this book is for you . The litherature is exquisite , the diagrams are of first rate . And the explanations about the multiple issues involved in the whole understanding of The Periodic Table , the covalent and ionic bonds , the hygdrogen bridges and Solutions and Oxide . Reduction Equations are overwhelming . There are no holes in this book . The images and grafics are breathtaking . You will not need the guide of any teacher after you acquire this book .
