this textbook has been developed
and arranged to provide a logical progression from fundamental to more advanced
concepts of chemical science. Topics are introduced within the context of
familiar experiences whenever possible treated with an appropriate rigor to satisfy the intellect of the learner, and
reinforced in subsequent discussions of related content. Topics covered
includes: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions, Thermochemistry, Stoichiometry of Chemical
Reactions, Composition of Substances and Solutions, Electronic Structures
and Periodic Properties of Elements, Chemical Bonding and Molecular Geometry,
Advanced Theories of Covalent Bonding, Gases, Liquids and Solids, Solutions and
Colloids, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Fundamental Equilibrium Concepts, Equilibria
of Other Reaction Classes, Organic Chemistry, Electrochemistry and nuclear
Chemistry.
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.
Legal Chemistry by Alfred
Naquet gives a specialist work on application of chemistry in the legal setting,
especially forensic science. The text on chemical processes in cases of
poisoning is addressed with great detail and methods for detecting poisons or
analyzing organic substances that could be part of criminal investigations.
Naquet covers techniques on the identification of toxins of those cases where
little or no clue can be had of their nature, including many methods for testing
and examining substances under suspicion. The text will be useful to whoever
works in legal chemistry, forensic science, or toxicology: the practical
knowledge of chemical substances in the law and justice context.
