Chemical Principles

Book by Steven S. Zumdahl. Houghton Mifflin Company 1070 pages Hardcover Published 2006-05-10. Description:

Although Chemical Principles is intended for students with solid mathematical preparation and prior exposure to chemistry, the author does not assume that students have a sophisticated grasp of chemical concepts.

  • Approximately 20 percent of the boxed essays are new, presenting everyday applications of chemistry with an emphasis on engineering applications.
  • To create more effective teaching tools, more than 100 illustrations—with a key focus on molecular-level illustrations—have been redone. Selected important equations have also been emphasized by highlighting them in color.

      • Review:: 'Why does my university use this book? Why does my university use this book? The University of Washington uses this book to weed out the pre med students. Why do they choose this book? Zumdahl purposely wrote this book to be confusing. Try reading pp. 668 through 670 in the fifth edition. He wrote this to be especially confusing by not being consistent with phase signs nor giving clear statements, such as "When the phase of the right orbital is reversed and combined with the left orbital." What orbitals is he talking about? The ones on a figure, that happen to be on a different page, which is not in view when reading this page? This book is horrible and is designed for the student to fail. Thank you Zumdahl and UW for trying to ruin chemistry for your students.
      • Review:: 'Maybe good for AP Highschool This is the book my prof had us use for [GenChem]Create? (129) my freshmen year of college. The book isn't the best I have seen and if I hadn't had a really rigorous prep in AP Chem I would have been lost in the reading. I didn't think the book was very clear with the formulae. It spent a lot of time explaining how a formula was derived, a student should have an understanding of the reasoning for the formula (or George Berkeley will yell), but this text does not give the formula and what all the variables are at once point. This makes review and looking up formulae rather labourous. The text misses a few important ideas (intensive vs. extensive properties) but spends a rather excessive amount of time on "present sources of energy" in an attempt, I presume, to relate the text to daily life. The data in the back of the book doesn't match up with a good deal of the data I have encountered elsewhere (while the difference isn't huge, it is present). Also, this may be because I came from a background where strict usage of sig figs was required, no points could be awarded if there were mistakes in the sig figs, I have noticed that the text plays rather "loose" with the sig figs. Also, it has comments like "We are keeping track of the sign value for this number in our heads." Furthermore, some of the vocab usage is off from what it should be (i.e. "All values are assumed precise to at least plus/minus 1." is noted on the list of thermodynamic data, it means the data is accurate, how close to the "true" value, and not precise, how close the tests are to one another). These are all minor problems, but proper use of vocab and sig figs are vital to the ability of a student to communcate properly and therefore I feel that the text should provide a model for the student. Of the [GenChem]Create? textbooks I have used, I vastly prefer Chemistry : The Central Science by Brown, [LeMay]Create? and Bursten.
      • Review:: 'Amazon.com, please check your spelling According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a principle is a comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine or assumption; a principal is a person who has controlling authority or is in a leading position. Zumdahl correctly named his book "Chemical PRINCIPLES". Amazon.com, please follow suit.
      • Review:: 'Good and bad The main strength of the book is its large amount of interesting and largely error-free problems. Unfortunately, some of the more advanced material isn't really well explained. A good example is the book's coverage of particle-in-a-box: it's covered well enough for a beginning student to solve some problems, but without the more thorough follow up you get in a quantum class, you're just pushing symbols. The same goes for many of the other, somewhat more advanced topics in the book - MO theory, gas dynamics, etc.

        It may have made pchem and inorganic a little easier, but it made for frustrating reading at the time.

      • Review:: 'Information This book is the current book for Chemistry 107 at the University of Illinois, taught by none other than Professor Zumdahl. Tthe book is very good for a college accelerated class. Clear examples.

Chemical Principles in the Laboratory (Brooks/Cole Laboratory Series for General Chemistry)

Book by Emil Slowinski, Wayne C. Wolsey and William L. Masterton. Brooks Cole 384 pages Spiral-bound Published 2004-02-06. Description: CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES IN THE LABORATORY, Eighth Edition continues to build on its strengths by clearly presenting the basic principles of chemistry. The lab manual continues to maintain the high quality, time-tested experiments and techniques that have become hallmark features throughout the life of this title.
      • Review:: 'Good introductory chemistry lab book This book uses removable pages as prelabs which were very good in giving a conceptual idea of the experiments before they were done. Also, there are good flowcharts, equations for every step of the reactions, and formulas to help do the problems. All data that needs to be recorded is clearly mentioned in a form format.
