Summary:
Including expanding explanations, and assuming a lower level of mathematical and chemical knowledge, this volume provides a framework on which students can improve their understanding. It includes colour text design and a Online Resource Centre with 3D rotating molecular models, web links and additional questions. A solutions manual is available.
