Title: Great Text even after 30 years
Product review: Just remember when reading resonance that structures don't actually resonate from one Lewis structure to the other. It kinda is confusing. Some sections he sounds like he's saying the compounds resonate and in other sections he says that all valid lewis structures contribute to the overall structure. What I really love about this general chem book is the calculus. Almost no general chem text uses calculus anymore, which I guess is designed to be a gen ed for a non-chem major. Unfortunately it hurts the chem major who will be almost overwhelmed with higher math when p-chem rolls around.
