Lecture Notes for General Chemistry by Ebbing and Gammon
This note covers then following topics: Measurements in Chemistry, Atoms, Molecules, And Ions, Atomic
Theory and Atomic Structure, Chemical Substances: Formulas and Names, Naming
Simple Inorganic Compounds, Calculations With Chemical Formulas And Equations,
Determining Chemical Formulas, Chemical Reactions, The Gaseous State,
Thermochemistry, Quantum Theory And The Atom, Electron Configurations And
Periodicity,Ionic And Covalent Bonding, Molecular Geometry And Chemical Bonding
Theory.
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.
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.
