CHEMISTRY: THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE is intended to help students develop a broad overview of chemistry and chemical reactions; an understanding of the most important concepts and models that chemists and those in chemistry-related fields use; an appreciation of the many ways chemistry impacts our daily lives; the ability to apply the facts, concepts, and models of chemistry appropriately to new situations in chemistry, other sciences and engineering and to other disciplines.
I'm only on chapter 1, but already this book is really annoying!! There are so many marginal notes that are really distracting! I guess the notes are interesting, though, because i keep reading them . . .
