Introductory Chemistry - 1st Canadian Edition
Author(s): Jessie A. Key, Vancouver Island University, David W Ball, Cleveland State University
Updated: Oct 27, 2021
Description: The goal of this textbook is not to make you an expert. True expertise in any field is a years-long endeavor. Here I will survey some of the basic topics of chemistry. This survey should give you enough knowledge to appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life and, if necessary, prepare you for additional instruction in chemistry. Throughout each chapter, I present two features that reinforce the theme of the textbook—that chemistry is all around you. The first is a feature titled, appro...[more]
