Introduction to Chemistry

This textbook is written to thoroughly cover the topic of introductory chemistry in detail-with specific references to examples of topics in common or everyday life. It provides a major overview of topics typically found in first-year chemistry courses in the USA. The textbook is written in a conversational question-based format with a well-defined problem solving strategy and presented in a way to encourage readers to 'think like a chemist' and to 'think outside of the box.' Numerous examples are presented in every chapter to aid students and provide helpful self-learning tools. The topics are arranged throughout the textbook in a 'traditional approach' to the subject with the primary audience being undergraduate students and advanced high school students  of chemistry.
