Chemistry Principles and Reactions 8th Edition

Chemistry Principles and Reactions 8th EditionChemistry Principles and Reactions 8th Edition are an introduction to chemistry. It's a book that starts from the foundation of the subject and goes on to cover several sub-fields. It contains all the material you need to know about all the things you will encounter when you embark on any chemistry project.The first chapter covers elementary topics like the elements and atoms, molecules, bonding, and compounds. It also covers various experimental methods.Chapter two covers the important terms in this basic chemistry. The structure of a molecule is discussed in the chapter and the reaction of two dissimilar molecules is also covered. A formula is also mentioned, which is the name given to an alkene.The next chapter is dedicated to methods of determining the properties of substances. It discusses the amine method of crystallization, spectroscopy, and the graduated cylinders method. They are all discussed in layman's terms.Chapter three disc usses methods of investigation which involve mixtures of substances and their properties. For example the boiling point and the boiling temperature of water are discussed.Chapter four deals with methods of reacting these mixtures. These methods include the electrolysis method and the hydrothermal method. These methods help the student understand the fundamental principles of chemical reactions.The next chapter explains some advanced concepts. Examples of molecular structures and the formation of radicals are explained in this chapter.The last chapter covers three sub-fields of chemistry. They are Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Nanotechnology. These are the topics that the authors were able to cover in the 8th edition.
