Chemistry 1411 Concept Reviews
The following concept reviews are based on the chapter organization in:
"Principles of Chemistry: A Molecular Approach"
by Nivaldo Tro
(DISCLAIMER: These concept reviews attempt to summarize and explain the most important concepts from each chapter in the Tro textbook. Note: The reviews do not cover every concept in the indicated topic categories below, and they are not a substitute for reading your textbook. Furthermore, your professor may be using a different textbook than the one noted above. Even though nearly all the concepts should be the same/similar for books used for this course, the order of topics covered and the method of teaching the concepts does vary. We strongly encourage you to read the textbook IN ADDITION to using these reviews.)
