Chemistry Books

Post by Sucky_Lord »

Im looking for a list of the most renowned books written about chemistry. Ideally they would have sections on: acids and bases, redox, periodicity and orbitals. I also would like a shorter/easier read. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Get an used college book. After a new year version tons of college books become obsolete by some course standards and are cheap awesome source of information.

Which level of complexity are you looking for?

The chemistry book by Charles E. Mortimer is an excellent start and is a good beginner's book for university while not being written in a complex way but rather easy to understand - I think it even would be suitable for a use in school...

Well I've just ordered the book Chemistry┬│ from amazon which is apparently the best book currently for A-level-undergraduate students. It's been described as a "tome" rather than a "book" :D

Funny that you ask, I may be willing to ship you my old (2 years) Chem textbook if you pay for shipping.
