Interactive Workbook for General Chemistry II is designed to allow general chemistry students a clear access to intricate topics. Using simple language, this workbook discusses topics that are perceived as difficult such as the interaction of chemicals with light otherwise known as spectroscopy, the speed with which chemicals change known as kinetics, leading to formation of new products and back again to reactants i.e. equilibrium, how chemicals produce electricity known as electrochemistry, and change in the nucleus or nuclear reactions. You will fill in the blanks here and there, and follow prompts to help you solve typical chemistry problems. If there is a guide that will bring you closer to understanding the principles that support our technology and medical developments, it is this Interactive workbook for General Chemistry II.
