Chemistry

With hands-on demonstrations, this book presents the science - and the realities - of forensic chemistry in a narrative style that makes this timely topic accessible to the nonchemist.

Designed to prepare students for health-related careers, General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life breaks chemical concepts down into manageable pieces and offers a step-by-step approach that clarifies student understanding.

The Laboratory Manual for General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, third edition, by Karen C. Timberlake contains 35 experiments related to the content of general, organic, and biological chemistry courses, as well as basic/preparatory chemistry courses.

Provides 720 practice questions that test your knowledge of all organic chemistry and biochemistry topics tested on the MCAT. The explanations for these questions provide detailed solutions and cover a broad spectrum of concepts that you must be well versed in order to answer related questions on the test and do well on it.

The discovery of the atom and how atoms interact with one another has transformed the world. In this illuminating volume, readers learn about the history of chemistry and the concepts they might encounter in an introductory chemistry course, including chemical and volumetric analysis, atomic theory, gravitation, elements and the periodic table, chemical reactions and formulas, and organic and inorganic compounds and bonds.

Provides explanations for more than two thousand terms and phrases in the field of inorganic chemistry.

Inorganic Chemistry For Dummies features a thorough introduction to the study of the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. In plain English, it explains the principles of inorganic chemistry and includes worked-out problems to enhance your understanding of the key theories and concepts of the field.

From the fascination of fall foliage and fireworks, to the functioning of smoke detectors and computers, to the fundamentals of digestion (as when good pizza goes bad!), the authors illustrate the concepts of chemistry in terms of everyday experience, using familiar materials.

Explains the basic principles of organic chemistry and provides help with reactions, synthesis, mechanisms, spectra, reagents, and study methods.

Organic Chemistry Demystified is your formulas for learning or reviewing fundamental concepts and theories step-by-step. This practical guide eases you into this sometimes-challenging subject, starting with atomic structure and mass.

This fun, easy-to-understand guide explains the basic principles of organic chemistry in simple terms, providing insight into the language of organic chemists, the major classes of compounds, and top trouble spots.

Presents examples with explanations of organic chemistry concepts and over 1,800 fully solved problems, in a text that offers access to twenty-four online problem-solving videos.

Explores the simplicity of basic chemical reactions and then builds to the more complex, giving readers a history of the years and the minds that contributed to the research that led to chemistry as we know it today.

With its clear explanations and practical pedagogy, Physical Chemistry is less intimidating to students than other texts, without sacrificing the mathematical rigor and comprehensiveness necessary for a junior-level physical chemistry course.

With the development of a variety of exciting new areas of research involving computational chemistry, nano- and smart materials, and applications of the recently discovered graphene, there can be no doubt that physical chemistry is a vitally important field.

This textbook covers the fundamentals of physical chemistry, explaining the concepts in an accessible way and guiding the readers in a step-by-step manner. The contents are broadly divided into two sections: the classical physico-chemical topics (thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry, transport, and catalysis), and the fabric of matter and its interactions with radiation.
