Chemistry is all around us. We use it often, although unknowingly, and it helps us each day to perform our daily tasks. How can anyone use something constantly and not know anything about how it works?
Everyday Chemistry helps the average person learn about the chemistry they use every day. It is designed to be used for an introductory chemistry class that will satisfy the need for a lecture course requirement in a science for a student to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from most colleges. This book is meant to teach chemistry with interesting insights and applications to make the subject interesting, informative, and enjoyable.
