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.
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.
