Chemistry Essentials For Dummies

Fun guide for mastering foundational chemistry concepts. It simplifies challenging topics like atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, and acids/bases into digestible sections. The book is especially beneficial for students in high school or introductory college courses, as well as adult learners needing a refresher. Its practical examples and clear language make it a favorite among those who find chemistry intimidating.

This is a good book for the absolute basics in chemistry is not that difficult to follow at all. I will be starting a PhD soon and I will be require d to do some geochemistry course. I want to strengthen my foundations in chemistry and this is the perfect book. Only 197 pages long been taking my notes in the margins I am about half way through and I hope to finish and do a quick review of all the chapters. After the fundamentals are do I think I will be ready for the regular book "Chemistry for dummies" I will say this. The for dummies series of books is quite helpful to build from the ground up. I have a copy of botany for dummies as well.

I hadn't looked at a chemistry book in years. I had done well in high school, but had forgotten everything I'd learned. I developed an interest in building things, and felt it would be useful to brush up on my chemistry. This book made it a snap. I never understood why introductory Chemistry took 2 high school semesters. The material can be learned in a few days. This book is written simply, lays the concepts out simply, and made review a breeze. I would think it would be just as useful for primary learning of the subject. I highly recommend it.

I like the "Dummies" books. They are easy to understand and good additions to text books.

I am a graduate student who got involved in some coursework that involved some chemistry. Since I only had one chemistry course during undergrad from 5 years ago, this book was an excellent refresher on necessary topics in chemistry. Don't expect this to be an exhaustive or perfect explanation on the entire field chemistry. But it does exactly as advertised by outlining necessary/general concepts seen in a high school or undergraduate chemistry course.

I have to take the American Chemistry Society General Chemistry Exam for my chemistry class, so I need to review all three quarters of the general chemistry series. This book is great! It is a great refresher and it is not at all dry, like my chemistry textbook. I love the little jokes the author put in here and how the topics were made relatable using real life examples. This is a great book! I highly recommend it! I'm glad I'll have it to review for the MCAT in a few years too!

For the price, it's a good little reference (content-wise), but being the size of a paperback novel at one half the thickness and made from what feels like newspaper for pages... I'd be happier with an electronic version after all. The electronic would be easier to read, frankly.

Love this book! I took chemistry back in high school, three years later I need to take chemistry again and I use this book to build some basic concept for myself, it work good!

Très bien

It is a good foundation book. Really easy to understand.

Bought for my grandchild, they say it is useful.

Ok for beginners who want to learn.

Excellent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
