The Chemist

Product Information

It was what I was so hoping to find in Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk series that disappointed me last year. One of the primary tenets of chemistry is that molecular structure determines molecular behavior, so understanding a molecule’s structure is key to understanding a molecule’s function. This textbook strengthens students’ ability and skills in the essential elements of data interpretation, team cooperation, and quant analysis detail. When the heroine encounters the love interest, she pretty much falls for him instnatly, even though she's not supposed to (surprise). The beginning of this discipline dates back to 1828, when Friedrich Wöhler published an article on the synthesis of urea, which demonstrated that organic compounds, contrary to what was believed, can be produced artificially in a laboratory.

Along the way, Kean clues you in to the mysteries of the periodic table, where it came from and how it is organized. Frank Travia, accused in late 1926 of killing his girlfriend, and then dismembering her body to dispose of it, insisted that he’d woken up to find her dead on the floor. The book must also have well-organized thoughts and various concepts ranging from simple to complex.

To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. We rate this the best general chemistry book for students on a budget, but even if you aren’t strapped for cash, it is an excellent option. Tucked into each vignette is an easily digestible chemistry lesson, from what techniques are used to identify those smelly molecules in urine (gas chromatography) to the quantum mechanics behind why a gin and tonic will glow under a black light (the quinine in the tonic). We have previously covered reviews for the best textbooks for organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry.
