100% Pure Chemical Understanding
Every morning many of us are wound up by a cup of coffee. Presume if you were as wound up by understanding the chemistry in your morning cup–from the coffee trees, which fill red coffee berries with caffeine and a variety of other chemical substances, to the feathery crystals formed by the caffeine molecules, to the decaffeinating machines, which use liquid solvents to remove this stimulant from some of the beans. Now, that’s real chemical understanding!
Olmsted and Williams’ Fourth Edition of Chemistry focuses on helping you see and reckon about the world (and even your coffee) as a chemist. This text helps you know how chemical phenomena are governed by what happens at the molecular level, apply critical thought skills to chemical concepts and problems, and master the basic mathematical techniques needed for quantitative reasoning. You’ll see the world as chemists do, and learn to appreciate the chemical processes all nearly us.
A Fourth Edition with a lot of new perks!
* Revisions include a new, early energy chapter; revised coverage of bonding; expanded coverage of intermolecular forces; and increased coverage of multiple equilibria, including polyprotic acids.
* New pedagogy strengthens students’ critical thought and problem-solving skills.
* Visual Summaries at the end of each chapter use molecular and drawn visual elements to summarize essential skills, concepts, equations, and terms.
* eGrade Plus provides an integrated suite of teaching and learning resources, including a complete online version of the text, links between problems and relevant sections in the online text, do quizzes, the Visual Tutor, Interactive LearningWare problems, and lab demos, as well as homework management and presentation features for instructors.

The shipping was fantastic. The only thing that I did not like was the book was being labeled as new, but clearly this book was used with stickers stuck on the front cover. Overall, the book is in excellent shape up, and the price I paid for it was very reasonable. In the future if I need to, I will buy from this seller again.

Be prepared to sit with the tutor, because the book is so dull. The examples are not in a real situation. Not helpful.. So dull that by the time you do the problems you are ready for bed. If this is the required text buy a chemistry help book bc this books bottom line is dreadful, poorly written.

Wonderful book no doubt in terms of content. But a serious limitation is that it is without a chapter in Organic chemistry. Other chapters are simple to know. Only due to the lack of organic chemistry discussions I am giving it 4 stars

The pros about this book:
1. I really loved the sample problems in the book. It helped prepare me for the additional problems in the book.
2. For the most part, I understood everything. Reading it was not too trying.
The cons about this book:
1. Some answers were incorrect. I had to converse in with the instructor to get a link of problems cleared.
2. The most terrible is that there is a solution manual available for only the Odd problems. I’d prefer a solution manual with both even and odd problems so that I can compare my work with and not hassle the professor’s as much as i do to make sure i’m understanding the material.

Learning Chem is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. When I studied, my main source of knowledge was from the text books. Unfortunately, I didn’t have this book when I took General Chem.
After reading this book, I realized that many authors(at least 3 of my other general chem books I own) don’t emphasize on Atoms and Light(as in Ch6) much less know how to clarify the topic. More over, they don’t know how to arrange the material in an organized order. Comparing to this book, I’m surprised how those other Chem books may possibly miss entirely on The Properties of Electrons (Ch6.5) which I reckon is the most vital topic in Chem since Chem deals mainly with the Coulomb Force.
So I guess writing a Chem text book requires a lot of skill. The author need to know what to emphasize(and what not to) and know how to cunningly link the material in order that readers can easily know. The authors of this book did just that.
