Check Out Understand Basic Chemistry Concepts: The Periodic Table, Chemical Bonds, Naming Compounds, Balancing Equations, And More Brought To You By Chris McMullen Ready In EPub

UPDATE : The eBook edition was updated on February,and the paperback editions were updated on February,.


AUTHOR: Chris McMullen holds a Ph, D. in physics and teaches physics, astronomy, and physical science including the concepts of chemistry at Northwestern State University of Louisiana.
He is highly regarded for his ability to explain science concepts clearly and to get students interested in learning about science.


OVERVIEW: This eBook focuses on fundamental chemistry concepts, such as understanding the periodic table of the elements and how chemical bonds are formed.
No prior knowledge of chemistry is assumed, The mathematical component involves only basic arithmetic, The content is much more conceptual than mathematical,

AUDIENCE: This eBook is geared toward helping anyone student or not to understand the main ideas of chemistry.
Both students and nonstudents may find it helpful to be able to focus on understanding the main concepts without the constant emphasis on computations that is generally found in chemistry lectures and textbooks.


CONTENTS:

Understanding the organization of the periodic table, including trends and patterns.

Understanding ionic and covalent bonds and how they are formed, including the structure of valence electrons.

A set of rules to follow to speak the language of chemistry fluently: How to name compounds when different types of compounds follow different naming schemes.

Understanding chemical reactions, including how to balance them and a survey of important reactions,
Understanding the three phases of matter: properties of matter, amorphous and crystalline solids, ideal gases, liquids, solutions, and acids/bases.

Understanding atomic and nuclear structure and how it relates to chemistry,
VErBAl ReAcTiONS: A brief fun diversion from science for the verbal side of the brain, using symbols from chemistry's periodic table to make word puzzles.


ANSWERS: Every chapter includes selfcheck exercises to offer practice and help the reader check his or her understanding.
of the exercises have answers at the back of the book,

LENGTH: The paperback edition of this eBook haspages,

COPYRIGHT: All rights are reserved by the author, However, teachers who purchase one copy of this book or borrow one copy of this book from a library may reproduce selected pages for the purpose of teaching chemistry concepts to their own students.


FORMATS: This book is available in paperback in," x." portable size,." x" large size, and as an eBook, The details of the figures including the periodic tables are most clear in the large size and large print edition.

Dr. McMullen is well known for: engaging students in challenging ideas through creativity breaking difficult problems down into manageable steps providing clear and convincing explanations to subtle issues his mastery of physics and strong background in mathematics helping students become fluent in practical math skillsAs a physics teacher, Dr.
McMullen observed that many students lack fluency in fundamental math skills, In an effort to help students of all ages and levels master basic math skills, he published a series of math workbooks on arithmetic, fractions, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus called the Improve Your Math Fluency Series.
Dr. McMullen has also published a variety of science books, including introductions to basic astronomy and chemistry concepts in addition to physics workbooks.
Dr. McMullen is very passionate about teaching, Many students and observers have been impressed with the transformation that occurs when he walks into the classroom, and the interactive engaged discussions that he leads during class time.
Dr. McMullen is well known for drawing monkeys and using them in his physics examples and problems, using his creativity to inspire students.
A stressed out student is likely to be told to throw some bananas at monkeys, smile, and think happy physics thoughts.
Dr. McMullen first published The Visual Guide to Extra Dimensions, Volumesand, to share his passion for the geometry and physics of the fourth dimension.
Dr. McMullen has coauthored a half dozen articles on current and future collider searches for large extra dimensions.
In addition to writing and teaching, Dr, McMullen enjoys Scrabble, golf, and chess, sitelink.
