General Chemistry by Ebbing



Ebbing General Chemistry book covers all the topics in JEE syllabus. The best covered topics are Atomic and Molecular Structure, Solutions, States of Matter, Equilibrium and Nuclear Chemistry. Hence, students use it for IIT JEE preparation as well as preparation for other engineering entrance exams and medical entrance exams.

Topics covered in the book are:

Part I: BASICS OF CHEMISTRY.

1. Chemistry and Measurement.

2. Atoms, Molecules, and Ions.

3. Calculations with Chemical Formulas and Equations.

4. Chemical Reactions.

5. The Gaseous State.

6. Thermochemistry.

Part II: ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE.

7. Quantum Theory of the Atom.

8. Electron Configurations and Periodicity.

9. Ionic and Covalent Bonding.

10. Molecular Geometry and Chemical Bonding Theory.

Part III: STATES OF MATTER AND SOLUTIONS.

11. States of Matter; Liquids and Solids.

12. Solutions.

Part IV: CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EQUILIBRIUM.

13. Rates of Reaction.

14. Chemical Equilibrium.

15. Acids and Bases.

16. Acid-Base Equilibria.

17. Solubility and Complex-Ion Equilibria.

18. Thermodynamics and Equilibrium.

19. Electrochemistry.

Part V: NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY AND CHEMISTRY OF THE ELEMENTS.

20. Nuclear Chemistry.

21. Chemistry of the Main-Group Elements.

22. The Transition Elements and Coordination Compounds.

23. Organic Chemistry.

24. Polymer Materials: Synthetic and Biological.

At the end of the book, you can also find answers to the exercises, concept checks select problems and self-assessment questions in the book.

The book aims to be interactive and offers flexible teaching solutions for students and an instructional presentation online. As a result, the book does not Ebbing General Chemistry book does not have the end-of-chapter problems, which are only available online. To access these exercises, tutorials, simulations, and videos to enhance the learning from the book, one needs to use the access code given in the book.

As a result, the Ebbing Chemistry book in itself is not complete. It is not a bad book and does define all the concepts but it looks like as if it is poorly written. The concepts are not explained in detail. The exercises and examples are skimpy and are not well-explained. General Chemistry by Ebbing is quite expensive but lacks enough numerical.

Students are advised to devote only one hour in a week to this book. They may want to use it for revision where they only need a quick glance of all the concepts. To really make learning from this book fruitful, one must use both the online and book part of Chemistry study material and aids.
