| Summary: |
Publisher's description: One of the greatest challenges facing chemists and chemical educators today is conveying the central importance and relevance of chemistry to students and society at large. Chemistry Connections: The Chemical Basis of Everyday Phenomena highlights the fundamental role of chemical principles in governing our everyday experiences and observations through a collection of provocative, topical questions. It explains the fundamental role of chemical principles in governing our everyday experiences and observations. Introductory chemistry students and educators as well as laypersons with an inquisitiveness about the world around them will find the book an informative introduction to the context of chemistry in their lives. Chemistry Connections is written in a question-and-answer format with presentations in both lay and technical terms. |
