Description
If you have ever suspected that "heavy water" is the title of a bootleg Pink Floyd album, believed that surface tension is an anxiety disorder, or imagined that a noble gas is the result of a heavy meal at Buckingham Palace, then you need The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry to set you on the road to chemical literacy!
The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry, a collaboration between preeminent scientist Professor Craig Criddle of Stanford University and cartoonist Larry Gonick, is a complete and up-to-date course in college-level chemistry. In engaging and humorous graphic style, the book covers both the history and the basics, including:
- Early ideas and techniques
- Electrochemistry
- Organic chemistry
- Biochemistry
- Environmental chemistry
- Physics as chemistry
- And much more!
You don't need to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, because The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry explains them all: the history and basics of chemistry, atomic theory, combustion, solubility, reaction stoichiometry, the mole, entropy, and much more—all explained in simple, clear, and yes, funny illustrations. Chemistry will never be the same!
The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry covers the basics and then some: the history of chemistry, atomic structure and the periodic table, chemical bonds, reactions, heat and energy, states of matter, solutions, reaction rates and equilibrium, acids and bases, organic chemistry, and even a taste of thermodynamics and electrochemistry. Here is everything your students need to be ready for the AP Chemistry exam.
