Description
Chemistry: Human Activity, Chemical Reactivity is an integrated print/digital resource package which presents chemistry as it is - a contemporary, engaging, human endeavour - not just old theories illustrated with facts. This integrated resource presents Chemistry as an integrated whole, blending as far as possible organic, physical, and inorganic chemistry phenomena with thought provoking case studies, vibrant illustrations and models that enable visualization and critical thinking without compromising scientific rigour.
