The renowned Oxford Chemistry Primers series, which provides focused
introductions to a range of important topics in chemistry, has been
refreshed and updated to suit the needs of today's students, lecturers,
and postgraduate researchers. The rigorous, yet accessible, treatment of
each subject area is ideal for those wanting a primer in a given topic
to prepare them for more advanced study or research.
The learning features provided, including questions at the end of every
chapter and online multiple-choice questions, encourage active learning
and promote understanding. Furthermore, frequent diagrams, margin notes,
and glossary definitions all help to enhance a student's understanding
of these essential areas of chemistry.
Chemical bonding gives a clear and succinct explanation of this
fundamental topic, which underlies the structure and reactivity of all
molecules, and therefore the subject of chemistry itself. Little prior
knowledge or mathematical ability is assumed, making this the perfect
text to introduce students to the subject.
