Free download Foundations of Chemistry: An Introductory Course for Science Students by Philippa B. Cranwell & Elizabeth M. Page in pdf.
Foundations of Chemistry: An Introductory Course for Science Students serves as a comprehensive resource, bridging the gap in foundational chemistry education for students in physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering.
Written by leading experts in the field, this text provides clear and concise explanations of essential chemistry theories and principles commonly covered in one-year foundation courses and first-year degree programs for non-chemists.
The book integrates illustrative examples and explores the latest applications in chemistry, ensuring students gain both theoretical understanding and practical insight. Covering key areas—physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry—it systematically builds on prior knowledge, allowing students to expand their comprehension effectively.
Key Features:
- Worked examples to reinforce core concepts and provide hands-on practice.
- Margin comments that guide students to related topics and emphasize key learning objectives.
- Chapter summaries highlighting essential concepts and key takeaways.
Foundations of Chemistry is a concise course in advanced general chemistry specifically designed for students studying at Level 3 (A level or equivalent). It is especially relevant for students enrolled upon one-year foundation programmes catering for physical and life sciences provided by UK universities, and is intended to introduce students to the core elements of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry.
The text outlines the basic principles in each area of chemistry and builds on prior knowledge from GCSE (or equivalent) courses to quickly expand and develop students’ knowledge and understanding. Each chapter contains worked examples that showcase core concepts, and includes practice questions with fully worked answers.
Margin comments signpost students to knowledge that is covered elsewhere in the book and are used to highlight key learning objectives when appropriate. A summary is given at the end of each chapter that lists the main concepts and learning points.
