Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. Atoms, Molecules, and Ions -- Ch. 3. Stoichiometry -- Ch. 4. Reactions in Aqueous Solutions -- Ch. 5. Gases -- Ch. 6. Energy Relationships in Chemical Reactions -- Ch. 7. Electronic Structure of Atoms -- Ch. 8. Periodic Table -- Ch. 9. Chemical Bonding I: The Covalent Bond -- Ch. 10. Chemical Bonding II: Molecular Geometry and Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals -- Ch. 11. Intermolecular Forces and Liquids and Solids -- Ch. 12. Physical Properties of Solutions -- Ch. 13. Introduction to Organic Chemistry -- Ch. 14. Organic Polymers -- Synthetic and Natural -- Ch. 15. Chemical Equilibrium -- Ch. 16. Acids and Bases -- Ch. 17. Acid-Base Equilibria and Solubility Equilibria -- Ch. 18. Chemistry of Coordination Compounds -- Ch. 19. Thermodynamics -- Ch. 20. Redox Reactions and Electrochemistry -- Ch. 21. Chemical Kinetics -- Ch. 22. Nuclear Chemistry -- App. 1. Units for the Gas Constant -- App. 2. Selected Thermodynamic Data at 1 ATM and 25[celsius degrees] -- App. 3. Mathematical Operations -- App. 4. Elements and the Derivation of Their Names and Symbols.

Summary: This core introduction to general chemistry is intended for freshman science majors and pre-med students. This text should appeal to professors interested in shorter books with an early introduction to organic chemistry. Descriptive chemistry is integrated throughout the text as opposed to being in later chapters that professors normally don't have time for. Problems that call on the student's ability to think critically and write will be added to end-of-chapter material. Chapter opening essays on famous scientists and their discoveries should be particularly appealing.
