Very organized textbook

The problems really helped me understand what to think about in chemistry without overwhelming me with information. However, the section on MO theory was a little unclear, I would recommend an instructor to explain that concept to students. I still countinue to use this textbook not only as a reference, but also in prepartion for taking advanced chemistry courses and possible preparation for med school.

Great Textbook

I used this textbook while taking AP chem in high school. I found myself relying heavily on the book and less so on the teacher's lectures. I must say that I think it's one of the best general chemistry books (I've read others) in terms of organization, practice problems, and explanations. I think it prepared me very well for the AP test and gave me a solid foundation in chemistry. I'd recommend it for anyone trying to learn chemistry by themselves too; it is very user-friendly and to the point. If you are going to read a textbook intently, this is a good choice. If you just want to be sprinkled with magic "chemistry knowledge", I'm not sure that there exists a text for you :)

Extremely Helpful Text

This text is great! I hardly ever went to class and rarely paid attention, but I read all the corresponding chapters and they are SO CLEAR that you understand everything perfectly. I made the HIGHEST GRADE in my chemistry 102 class and set the curve in lab, all thanks to this book and it's crystal clear explanations. The examples in the text are super helplful. Also, you should buy the companion solutions manual and study guide, they are helpful as well.

Best Chem text on the market!!!

This is the best general chemistry text on the market. I used Ebbing's text at first, that text is misleading. Lot information is out of date, but in this book everything's very clear. It's problem solving tips in each section is very helpful. It helped me alot avoiding common errors and clarified many misconceptions. It REALLY is the best chem text on the market as one of reviewer said. At least much better than two other books i used; one by Ebbing, one by Adkins. Don't buy those books. They're waste of money and probably ruin your clear mastery of chemistry. This book is nice. With the CD-rom it will be even better.

The Best Out There

I cannot believe somebody has not written a review for this book. I had it for my g. chem. I and II classes. This book should be the standard textbook by which all others should be judged (actually, it's a surprise how this book has not put out of business all others -- I guess people are looking more for attractive subtitles and dazzling covers rather than real science). Together with Serway's "Physics for Scientists and Enginners," I made a 14 in the physical section of the MCAT, or a 99%. (and I'm certainly not a genius -- I just worked hard every day). Highly recommended.
