Chemistry book for highschool students?
« on: November 13, 2004, 02:45:21 AM »
I found these two, but I don't know which one to choose (or is there other better choice)
1. Chemistry: The Science in Context
    ISBN:0393975312
2. Chemistry: The Central Science 9th edition
    ISNB: 0130669970

I want to buy a new one, becuase I can keep it and study on my own since the one I got from school is broken and not enough, I am currenty taking chemistry ap in our school.

Click the essential books link to your left and take a look at the "Undergraduate General Chemistry" book.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Advanced Chemistry by James Maple is not bad. I'm not sure if it will be too deep for you because it's meant for GCE A levels.
