Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight - Tapa dura

Written for general chemistry courses, "Chemical Principles, 4e" helps students develop chemical insight by showing the connections between fundamental chemical ideas and their applications. It begins with a detailed picture of the atom and then builds towards chemistry's frontier, continually demonstrating how to solve problems, think about nature and matter, and visualize chemical concepts in the same way as working chemists.
