Chemistry

This second edition of Chemistry: Structure and Dynamics was written for the General Chemistry course as a revised reform text. Its revisions draw on recommendations from the American Chemical Society's Task Force on the General Chemistry Curriculum, along with feedback from instructors who used the first edition.

The book offers an introduction to core chemistry concepts across fifteen chapters. Each chapter ends with a set of additional topics, so instructors can expand or adjust their course to suit their students.

Three major themes run through the material: the process of science, the link between molecular structure and physical and chemical properties, and the connection between the microscopic and macroscopic worlds.
