Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Eighth Edition of CHEMISTRY incorporates a strong molecular reasoning focus, amplified problem-solving exercises, and innovative technological resources. This kind of reasoning helps students think at the molecular level and make connections between molecular structure and macroscopic properties. Molecular reasoning and visualization are emphasized via Molecular-Reasoning icons, chapter objectives, end-of-chapter problems, and new artwork, and are integrated into the accompanying technology, including OWL (online homework management system) and General ChemistryNow¿ (student assessment program). As in previous editions, thermochemistry is covered mainly in one chapter (Chapter 15) and begins the second half of the course. However, to address the need for more material on thermochemistry earlier in the course, the text now includes information on bond energies in Chapter 7 on Chemical Bonding. The discusion of entropy in Chapter 15 has been expanded to include not only molecular disorder but also the concept of energy dispersal.

Be prepared to sit with the tutor, because the book is so boring. The examples are not in a real situation. Not helpful.. So boring that by the time you do the problems you are ready for bed. If this is the required text buy a chemistry help book bc this books bottom line is awful, poorly written.

The shipping was great. The only thing that I did not like was the book was being labeled as new, but clearly this book was used with stickers stuck on the front cover. Overall, the book is in good condition, and the price I paid for it was very reasonable. In the future if I need to, I will purchase from this seller again.

I am taking General Chemistry and this book covers the material very well. Get this book if you are studying G Chem.

I recieved it in good time, and it was what i wanted, in good condition, the only thing was the packaging was falling apart when i got it

Learning Chem is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. When I studied, my main source of knowledge was from the text books. Unfortunately, I didn't have this book when I took General Chem.
After reading this book, I realized that many authors(at least 3 of my other general chem books I own) don't emphasize on Atoms and Light(as in Ch6) much less know how to explain the topic. More over, they don't know how to arrange the material in an organized order. Comparing to this book, I'm surprised how those other Chem books could miss entirely on The Properties of Electrons (Ch6.5) which I think is the most important topic in Chem since Chem deals mainly with the Coulomb Force.
So I guess writing a Chem text book requires a lot of skill. The author need to know what to emphasize(and what not to) and know how to cleverly link the material in order that readers can easily understand. The authors of this book did just that.
