A really neat book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
P.W Atkinks is one of the most respected authors in the field of chemistry textbooks. He has a rare talent of explaing complicated subjects like physical chemistry and molecular quantum mechanics in a way students can understand. This book is different however. In its pages you will find picture of common and not so common molecules followed by a 1-2 page description of this molecule (where it is found, some history, its significance). I read this book when I was a seventh grader (8-9 years later I am a senior chemistry major)and absolutely loved it. It won't bog you down with confusing technical details but rather will stimulate your curiosity. The ultimate molecular museum!
Explains the basics of chemistry better than anyone else

An easy read (a bright sixth grader should be able to handle it) that gives a better understanding how chemicals work than a year of honors college chemistry.
