General Chemistry: Principles and Modern Applications 10th Edition, Ralph H. Petrucci



The most trusted general chemistry text in Canada is back in a thoroughly revised 10th edition.

General Chemistry: Principles and Modern Applications is recognized for its superior problems, lucid writing, precision of argument, and precise and detailed treatment of chemistry. Its innovative pedagogical features, which encourage students to understand, apply, and synthesize content, reinforce the principles of general chemistry and provide the ideal platform for later studies.

The new tenth addition boasts a number of improvements, including expanded coverage of organic chemistry, as well as a consistent 3-part structure (Analyze – Solve – Assess) for every worked example. All of the student-favourite, pedagogically rich elements of this textbook have returned in the tenth edition with renewed focus, including 10 to 25 new questions per chapter and updated integrative examples that all follow the Practice Example A and Practice Example B format.

This book tries to have it all, for those who want calculus or a more detailed mathematical foundation to chemistry concepts, there's a "Are you wondering section...". For those who don't care as much they can just skip those. For those who don't want to read, they're examples throughout the book in easy to identify blue boxes where the apathetic reader can just memorize the steps to solve the problem. For those who even care less, there are summaries at the end of each 40 pg chapter. Well this book is dense, sometimes the explanations are drawn out and far too advanced for an introductory college level chemistry course, but it really does provide a firm foundation and supplement for a chemistry class. It is also a great reference for someone who likes to skip 8am chem class in favor of sleep. Pretty easy to understand, and everything you would ever possibly want to know about a chem concept can be found in this book.
