Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change 5 edition

A good general chemistry text for science majors
This is a good chemistry text for a computer science student who studies independently. I like this book for several reasons: (1) is large, (2) Contains detailed explanatins why things happen, and AS, (3) The book contains numerous problems developed, and (4) The book is easy to read so in simple language and excellent graphic explanations foward. I study chemistry now, and I turn to this text very often for the explanation of certain topics, for example. Security problems. Coverage of organic chemistry is very simple book Silberberg. For more information see Organic Chemistry: Structure and Reactivity Seyhan Ege (ISBN 0395902231), an excellent book that emphasizes understanding, not memorization. A note: the solutions to all problems in Ege's book will guide the study.
