The book provides the basis of modern chemistry that every student needs for their professional development and as preparation for more complex chemistry courses. It also offers features that facilitate learning and serve as a guide for students to acquire a conceptual understanding and the skills needed to solve problems. The first five chapters offer a microscopic and phenomenological view of chemistry, while the latter review the chemistry of nonmetals, metals, organic chemistry and biochemistry.
