The info in this book is good but it is SO heavy. For many chem majors you will need it for multiple cl[censored].. so buying it new/used might be the best option but renting is cheapest.

Maybe my brain is really small, but I deeply struggled with this textbook about Chemistry. The textbook takes off quickly and jumps into deep topics such as chemical reactions, atoms, molecules, etc. The book moved through each topic so quickly that I had trouble following the author's train of thought.






Chemistry: 3.3 out of 5 stars based on 3 user reviews.
