Product Review
"The greatest strength is the level at which the material is presented. It is intellectually challenging and a book useful to all levels of interest. In addition the book also takes time to show clearly and slowly how to do various problems for students with minimal backgrounds in chemistry." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

The Study Guide reflects the unique problem-solving approach taken by the Chemical Principles text. The new edition of the Study Guide includes many new worked out examples.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Chemical Principles Fifth Edition (Hardcover) Why does my university use this book? The University of Washington uses this book to weed out the pre med students. Why do they choose this book? Zumdahl purposely wrote this book to be confusing. Try reading pp. 668 through 670 in the fifth edition. He wrote this to be especially confusing by not being consistent with phase signs nor giving clear statements, such as "When the phase of the right orbital is reversed and combined with the left orbital." What orbitals is he talking about? The ones on a figure, that happen to be on a different page, which is not in view when reading this page? This book is horrible and is designed for the student to fail. Thank you Zumdahl and UW for trying to ruin chemistry for your students. Comment | | (Report this)
