Friendly Chemistry Student Book 4ED

The Friendly Chemistry Student Book includes all the student readings, worksheets, lab instructions and lab worksheets. Divided into 32 lessons, each lesson begins with several pages of text which introduce and explain the chemistry topic covered. As you read through it, the first thing you notice is how personable the text is. Although it explains everything you need to know, it takes the time to put each concept into the simplest of terms, making it easier to fully grasp. For example, instead of a tiny paragraph on energy levels of electrons, pages are devoted to it. These are the same topics covered in chemistry textbooks but explained at a level that everyone can understand. This prepares the way for a heavier chemistry course, because you already will have covered the concepts and will be prepared to study more advanced ones. Early lessons introduce the structure of the atom, neutrons, protons, electrons, elements and symbols, the periodic table, and atomic numbers. They progress to energy levels, notations, valence electrons and element families, reactivities, ionization energy, affinities, atomic radius, ions, chemical reactions, compounds, bonding, stoichiometry, molarity, and gas laws. The lesson and lab worksheets are designed to be completed in the Student Book, although families may wish to purchase a separate Student Workbook if they would like to keep the text unmarred. Soft cover, not reproducible.
