UPDATE:The eBook edition was updated on February 15, 2013 and the paperback editions were updated on February 8, 2013.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 non-students 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:(1) Understanding the organization of the periodic table, including trends and patterns.(2) Understanding ionic and covalent bonds and how they are formed, including the structure of valence electrons.(3) 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.(4) Understanding chemical reactions, including how to balance them and a survey of important reactions.(5) Understanding the three phases of matter: properties of matter, amorphous and crystalline solids, ideal gases, liquids, solutions, and acids/bases.(6) Understanding atomic and nuclear structure and how it relates to chemistry.(7) 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 self-check exercises to offer practice and help the reader check his or her understanding. 100% of the exercises have answers at the back of the book.LENGTH: The paperback edition of this eBook has 176 pages. 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 5.5" x 8.5" (portable size), 8.5" x 11" (large size, ISBN 978-1479201259), and as an eBook. The details of the figures - including the periodic tables - are most clear in the large size and large print edition (ISBN 978-1479201259). However, the eBook is in color, whereas the paperback editions are in black-and-white. Read more

MOLECULES and the Chemical Bond is about understanding Schrdingers equation, for chemical systems. In his famous Lectures on Physics, Richard Feynman quotes Paul Dirac on what it means to understand an equation. I understand what an equation means, said Dirac, if I have a way of figuring out the characteristics of its solutions without actually solving it. That hits the nail on the head! Its precisely what Conceptual Valence Bond Theory does for Schrdingers equation. A physical understanding of an equation, adds Feynman, is a completely unmathematical, imprecise, and inexact thing, but absolutely necessary for a physicist. It unfolds in MCB in two stages, described by Newton as a stage of Analysis (a union of observations and inductions) and a stage of Synthesis (use of inductions, accepted as first principles, to explain observations). The books chief vehicle for creating an intuitive understanding of solutions of Schrdingers equation is the worlds largest and to the authors knowledge, virtually only library of line drawings of exclusive orbital models of chemical species electron density profiles. By focussing attention on fundamental physical principles and by avoiding use of atomic orbitals and, thereby, mathematical complexities associated with Schrdingers equation (the only source of atomic orbitals), the books essays provide a scientifically sound, student-friendly introduction to modern valence theory. Repetition of fundamental ideas, here and there, is intended to make individual essays understandable and interesting, each by itself, so that readers may examine them in any order, in leisurely walks, so to speak, in the big garden that is valence theory, picking bouquets to their liking.

Are you a high school student (or recent graduate) interested in mathematics, chemistry, and science, but aren't sure of how to translate those interests into a career? Are you interested in engineering, but aren't sure of which field to pursue? Balancing Act is a short book geared towards people exactly in this situation. Often, students pursue chemical engineering solely due to the high pay, but this book will arm the reader with far more information than salary figures. The book discusses not just what chemical engineering is, but also how to negotiate the complicated maze of engineering school, all the way to finally getting a job. The author never had a guide like this while he was in school, and had to learn much of the material in the book by hard knocks. Written by Dr. Bradley James Ridder, the book is drawn heavily from the author's own experiences as a chemical engineering undergraduate at the University of South Florida and as a doctoral student at Purdue University. Covered topics include: 1. What do chemical engineers study in school? 2. What is the degree worth? 3. Navigating the student loan minefield. 4. How to prepare for success in engineering school while still in high school. 5. How to succeed in engineering school when you finally get there. 6. Tips on teamwork and leadership. 7. Preserving your health under pressure. 8. Preparing for a job interview, and ultimately getting a job. 9. A comparison between chemical engineering and medicine as careers. 10. Entrepreneurship and chemical engineering. 11. Future technologies on the horizon in the field. The Young Person's Guide to Chemical Engineering is an inside-look at exactly what chemical engineering school is like, and how to succeed in the degree while in college. Despite being related to chemical engineering, the book is light on mathematics (outside of the final chapter in the appendix). This makes the book an easy read, even for someone who may not be very technical. Chemical engineering is a fascinating field, linking chemistry, physics, mathematics, computers, materials science, and biology together to produce technologies that are truly revolutionary. If you are interested in being on the frontiers of human technological progress (and getting paid a lot of money to be there), this book will give you the information you need to excel in engineering school, and ultimately in the workplace.
