Atoms, molecules, and ions; stoichiometry; reactions in aqueous solutions; gases; energy relationships in chemical reactions; the electronic structure of atoms; the periodic table; chemical bonding -the covalent bond; chemical bonding II - molecular geometry and hybridization of atomic orbitals; intermolecular forces and liquids and solids; physical properties of solutions; introduction to organic chemistry; chemical kinetics; chemical equilibrium; acids and bases; acid-base equilibria and solubility equilibria; the chemistry of co-ordination compounds; thermodynamics; redox reactions and electrochemistry; nuclear chemistry; organic polymers - synthetic and natural. appendices: units for the gas constant; selected thermodynamic data at 1 ATM and 25 degrees C; mathematical operations; the elements and the derivation of their names and symbols.
This text offers a shorter, more compact presentation of topics at the same depth and with the same rigor as other traditional "mainstream" texts. It includes only the core topics necessary for a good foundation in general chemistry but without sacrificing clarity and comprehension
