Shipped very quickly. Book was in great condition. This is my first time to order off amazon and was really impressed with how simple it was. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

Ebbing Chemistry presents chemistry as "physics at the atomic level." It seems this text is geared towards those majoring in chemistry, physics, or engineering and not necessarily biology majors. Some texts are vague, while Ebbying's clearly explains core concepts like atomic structure, the gas laws, and stoichiometry. Clear, logical problem-solving is stressed and demostrated with examples in each section.
At the risk of sounding too elementary or juvenile, there is plenty of "color" in this text. What I mean is that important charts, high-quality experiment pictures, and molecular diagrams all serve to make reading through 20-page chapters more enjoyable. Another key feature in of this text is that there is a wealth of information on the uses of chemicals and different manufacturing and industrial processes in the end-of-chapter problems. Just reading through the problems enlightens you about the many chemical processes used today. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-08-13 02:40:55 EST)

I used this book in my community college Chem. 1 class and got a "D" in the class. I didn't understand this book because it left me confused many times. There are not enough examples and the few you do get are not clear enough to understand what's going on. You have to read and reread the chapters to get a minimal understanding. Good luck if you have to use this book.
