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 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.
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.
