Chemistry (3^rd Ed.)

The third edition of Chemistry continues the substantial commitment of Wiley to chemistry education in Australia and New Zealand, as well as for international markets.  Chemistry 3e provides the appropriate mix of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry for the 2?semester introductory chemistry course.

In this edition all chapters have been revised, with selected chapter openers and examples being updated to reflect the latest developments in the field of chemistry.  New worked examples, practice exercises and end of chapter questions have been added throughout, and many of the existing questions have been reworked with new values.
