This book 'Chemistry' includes the core material of most chemistry texts. The material that is usually covered in high school or in a first year college course is presented in the first five chapters:

• Basic concepts;
• Atoms, molecules, and ions;
• Chemical Reacions;
• Aqueous Solutions;
• Gas Laws.

Further chapters include topics appearing in a comprehensive first year or second year Academic course:

• Thermochemistry;
• Atomic Orbitals;
• Periodic Properties;
• Bonding;
• Intermolecular Forces;
• Physical Properites of Solutions.

Finally, the conclusion of general chemistry includes

• Kinetics;
• Acid/Base Properties and Equilibria and Solubility;
• Electrochemistry;
• Nuclear Chemistry;
• among possible other topics.

The book also includes several other topics that may not be covered in a class, such as

• Chemistry in the Atmosphere;
• Metallurgy;
• Nonmetals;
• Entropy and Free Energy;
• Transition Metals;
• Organic Chemistry;
• Polymers.

You might want to look into these chapters if you are planning on taking more advanced Academic courses in chemistry (Organic, for example).

"I used this book for three courses in college. I did not consider myself a big fan of chemistry original, but found the subject much more interesting after opening Chang's text. I found the book rather easy to read and study. "

"The material is presented in as much of a straightforward manner as is possible for chemistry. The numerous colorful pictures in the text made studying somewhat more enjoyable and definately made chemistry more interesting. The book also includes a handy keycard folder that features the periodic table and many other useful value tables. This book provides several useful examples and problems. It was very intrumental in forming my knowledge of basic chemistry. It is a useful tool for self-instruction. "

"Truthfully, I think that I learned a lot more from the book alone than from any of my actual chemistry professors (no offense, but chemistry professors are some of the worst teachers in the world). I really did find the book quite interesting though (more so than my professors' lectures)."
