Description
Are you afraid of unfamiliar questions? Do you struggle to know how even to begin answering them? Problem solved!
Use the Workbooks in Chemistry series to:
- Know the facts: review the concepts you need to draw on to answer the question
- Understand the strategy: learn how to approach each question in a systematic way
- Master the solution: get to the right answer first time
The Workbooks in Chemistry series takes a worked example led approach to help you develop the problem-solving skills you need to understand how to approach unfamiliar questions and to answer them successfully.
Written to build the confidence of every reader, its extensive worked examples, enriched with guidance and advice, are matched with relevant problems to help you maximise your performance and achieve success during the formative early years of your degree programme, and beyond.

Reviews / Votes
I wish I had these books when I started at university. So many relevant examples are worked through, and the solutions to the examples are descriptive instead of just being a simple answer, which makes learning much easier. * Michelle Rasmussen, University of Roskilde * Having lots of examples to work through really helps you cement your learning, and is fantastic preparation for exams and further studies. * Adam Stubbs, Newcastle University * If only this book had existed during my first year, it would have made the task of studying so much easier! The workbook provides a blended balance between detail and simplicity, in a way that other books fail to match. * Matthew-John Tully, University of Bangor * The text covers many of the areas that I have had problems with at A-level and at university level, making it very useful to students in the transition between the two. * Felix Rummel, University of Manchester * I like the book. It has very clear structure, everything is nicely in sections and boxes with good illustrations. It assumes little knowledge and will be accessible to most readers while covering advanced topics as well. Adam Prada, University of Cambridge The comments and worked examples are fantastic and make the book particularly useful. As a student you can never have enough worked examples or questions to try so a workbook is a great way to enhance what you are given in your course. * Rebecca Snelgrove, Keele University *More details
