This manual's opening section describes every aspect of the test, offers study advice for its several parts, and presents a diagnostic test with answers and explanations. Following chapters review all the major test topics, including atomic structure and the periodic table; bonding; chemical formulas; gases and gas laws; stoichiometry; liquids, solids, and phase changes; chemical reactions and thermochemistry; rates of chemical reactions; chemical equilibrium; acids, bases, and salts; oxidation-reduction and electrochemistry; and much more. The manual concludes with four full-length practice tests with answers and explanations, a diagnostic chart of subject area scores, remedial study advice, and a set of helpful appendixes that includes reference pages of tables and important equations, as well as a glossary of more than 300 entries.

Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters?*

The Periodic Table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. THE DISAPPEARING SPOON masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, and discovery--from the Big Bang through the end of time.
*Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A classic science prank is to mold gallium spoons, serve them with tea, and watch guests recoil as their utensils disappear.

This book contains 1001 organic chemistry questions covering all the organic chemistry topics tested by the MCAT. Each question is in the MCAT multiple choice format. Questions are arranged by topic, and range from basic to extremely difficult. Typically, questions on a given topic begin easy and become progressively more difficult. Answers with explanations and formulas are provided.

A fascinating month-by-month tour of the most dazzling elements in the periodic table. Every month features a big, beautiful photograph of an element in its pure form, as well as data and an interesting anecdote relating to the element. Monthly grids include photographs of the element's compounds as well as important dates in chemical history and major North American, UK, Australian and New Zealand holidays.

Includes Theodore Gray's Photographic Periodic Table Poster

Authors Dave Nelson and Mike Cox combine the best of the laboratory and best of the classroom, introducing exciting new developments while communicating basic principles of biochemistry.

Chemistry: The Central Science is the most trusted book on the market--its scientific accuracy, clarity, innovative pedagogy, functional problem-solving and visuals set this book apart.  Brown, LeMay, and Bursten teach students the concepts and skills they need without overcomplicating the subject.

  Organized around functional groups, this book incorporates problem-solving help, orientation features, and complete discussions of mechanisms. Wade explains concepts without taking the unnecessary short cuts that often lead to misconceptions—his hallmark problem-solving approach includes unique strategies and hints to help readers focus on the individual steps of each reaction and how they contribute to the overall reaction. Wade also employs the most  efficient method of mechanism boxes with its two-tiered approach: Mechanism and Key Mechanism Boxes. He delineates the 20 “Key” mechanisms that comprise nearly all of the mechanisms students will encounter. Therefore, the book takes one additional and important step in helping readers identify and grapple with the smallest number of the most important concepts to understand.
