Summary

PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY: THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE offers a rigorous and complete general chemistry textbook in a briefer format. This book offers readers all the topics covered in the typical general course and tested on the American Chemical Society exams at the same depth and rigor as the longer books but at an easier to use size and a more agreeable price.
