This set of
complete notes is aimed at giving in-depth coverage of foundational concepts in
chemistry for students. It covers the basics in chemistry, laboratory
techniques, and the importance of accurate measurement. The notes include
matter, gases, atomic and nuclear chemistry, electronic structure, and
periodicity. They contain a detailed discussion about bonding and molecular
geometry, intermolecular forces, stoichiometry, and chemical reactions. It
further expands on the topics of thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, and
equilibrium in relation to acids, bases, and oxidation-reduction reactions. In
other words, these notes would be very helpful for first-time chemistry students
since they can explain concepts clearly in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step
manner with ample examples and practical application in solving problems.
This lecture note involves the core concepts of chemistry, starting with
an introduction to atoms, molecules, and ions. The note covers topics such as
the composition of substances and solutions, stoichiometry, and electronic
structure and periodic properties of elements. Detailed explanations are
included on topics such as chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and the theory
of equilibrium, with particular attention being paid to acid-base equilibrium.
The book also includes key aspects of organic chemistry. This text will be your
best friend, as a student, when you try to understand the theory and practical
knowledge of key principles in chemistry, with equal emphasis on theory and
practice.
This is an introduction to chemistry for
new starters, taking the basic principles and core topics of chemistry. Starting
with an excellent introduction to atoms, molecules, and ions, then key ideas
such as chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and the mole concept, these are just
a few ideas that come up. The text covers other critical subjects such as
chemical bonding, solutions, acids and bases, and chemical equilibrium among
others. It stands highly recommended for any student commencing their chemistry
course due to the lucid way its concepts, examples, and applications are put
forth to ensure easy understanding of the concepts and their underlying
principles.
