The following concept reviews are based on the chapter organization in:

"Chemistry for Changing Times"

by John W. Hill & Terry McCreary

(DISCLAIMER: These concept reviews attempt to summarize and explain the most important concepts from each chapter in the Timberlake text. 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.)
