This note covers the following topics: Solutions and Colloids, Kinetics,
Fundamentals of Equilibrium, Acid Base Equilbria , Equilibria of Other
Reactions, Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, Nuclear Chemistry and Organic
Chemistry.
This all-inclusive PDF covers all the
areas that a student of chemistry would be taught at secondary school, ranging
from the very basic atomic theory to very advanced concepts such as
electrochemical reactions and global biogeochemical cycles. The paper starts
with classification of matter, atomic structure, and intermolecular forces
before moving on to organic chemistry, chemical change, and reaction rates. The
document covers discussion about ideal gas law, change in energy during
reactions, and quantitative aspects of chemical change. One of the great
features of this resource is that it has been explored environmental chemistry
such as water cycle and the nitrogen cycle; it shows an all-rounded view of how
chemistry plays out in nature.
Dmitri Mendeleev's The
Principles of Chemistry is a classic that laid the foundation for the periodic
table. The book is a detailed discussion of water and its compounds, hydrogen
and oxygen, and their saline combinations. It includes Dalton's law, properties
of gases, and atomic theory in the discussion of the chemistry of elements and
their compounds. It is also interesting for its discussion of atomic weights of
elements and how to arrange the periodic table-the work of Mendeleev. The book
would serve well for the reader trying to understand the very earliest stages of
modern chemistry with contributions that have shaped this particular field of
science today.
