Introductory Chemistry (5th Edition) (Standalone Book)

Found book to be filled with notes from a previous owner. This made some pages hard to read but none were impossible. Condition could have been communicated better.

Perfect book for beginners in chem. special features of the book eg skill builder boxes pose questions relating to the material in the chapter. These help in acquiring the necessary knowledge and helps understand the topic better. At the end of each chapter there is a summary of the concepts learnt, and many question types that ensure the necessary knowledge has been acquired. The language of the book is Easy to understand. Many illustrations are in picture form to help with visualization of what happens. The book also has a website where online one on one tutorials can be used to ask any doubts. This books is perfect because every other book will just introduce to the main topics but this book has every topic in chemistry introduced. This way the student gets to know which area of chemistry he/she is most likely interested in.Definitely worth buying if you are looking for a book which covers everything you want in a clear understandable way.PS I never took a chem course in high school. Right now I'm in uni and i'm majoring in mechanical engineering. I have chem course which is general chem. But because I had no prior knowledge of chem I bought this book to help me out get introed to all areas of chem and especially those I will need. So in the summer i went through the whole book solving every exercise that is in it. Now i find chem interesting (ty Nivaldo) !!Sorry for such a long review but when it is about a perfect book, length shouldn't matter ;)Cheers!

Very well presentation of information with examples and discussions.

This textbook made the basic concepts of biology easy to understand and served as a very useful supplement for my professor's lectures. Although it was not a required reading, I would still recommend students to get it as it helps reinforce lectures and serves as a study tool.

It’s falling a part but it gets the job done and I can’t complain about the price I got it for.

A great text book as far as textbooks go. I thought it was helpful and made chemistry a little easier to understand

THE PRICE FOR JUST RENTING WAS GREAT AND AFFORDABLE, MUCH MORE CHEAPER THAN RENTING IT AT OUR OWN COLLEGE BOOKSTORE. I'M THE TYPE THAT LIKES TO PHYSICALLY HAVE A TEXTBOOK WITH ME INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT ONLINE, THAT'S JUST ME. THIS BOOK GIVES YOU TONS OF PRACTICE QUESTIONS YOU NEED HELP WITH TO REVIEW FOR AN UPCOMING TEST OR JUST ANYTHING YOU NEED HELP ON, THEY EVEN BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU HELPING YOU UNDERSTANDING IT BETTER.

It's an old book, but in general, it's kinda new. I mean the condition is still good, I can study it. I rent it with a reasonable price.Would recommend to all my friends.

Exact same as the textbook used by my college. Love it.
