C.H. The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1997. The course is also suitable as a first course in chemistry for students who did not take high school chemistry.
Chemistry is the study of matter, which is anything that has mass and occupies space.
This covers just about everything. Chemists are interested in the composition, properties and transformations of matter. The purpose of the course is to give you your first taste of chemistry. I hope that as you work through this course you will become more interested in learning about science, since it an integral part of our highly technological society. You will be required to do a little math, since some concepts are easier to understand when illustrated quantitatively.
