by Burçak Artun, Gorkem Ermut, and Semere Bairu

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This textbook serves a one-quarter general chemistry course for students in allied health and related careers. It walks through the essentials, including measurement, atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, gases, solutions, and acids and bases. Its aim is to build a practical grasp of chemistry that prepares students for organic and biological chemistry down the road.
