Klappentext You've come to the right place for the solution to learning chemistry quickly and easily! Easy Chemistry Step-by-Step is based on the idea that the quickest route to learning this subject isbuilding a solid foundation in the basics. You won't find a lot of pointless discussion; instead, you get an original, step-by-step approach to mastering chemistry, with important concepts linked together by clear explanations, appropriate exercises, and helpful answers. The first steps introduce you to the fundamentals of chemistry, allowing you to identify common mistakes almost immediately. Gradually, a series of interconnected steps takes you from simple to more challenging concepts at your own pace, with a variety of increasingly difficult exercises to practice what you've learned. After working through these exercises, you'll have a better grasp of thesubject along with the knowledge and skills you need to handle chemistry with confidence.
