How chemicals change and why energy matters in every reaction.
This companion volume offers a clear introduction to how chemistry explains the changes we see in the world. It outlines how scientists study natural occurrences, identify general laws, and use simple experiments to uncover the patterns that govern matter and energy.
Readers learn to distinguish physical from chemical changes, explore how energy is redistributed during reactions, and understand concepts like chemical equilibrium. The book also shows how elements and compounds are classified and how reacting weights and formulas help describe real interactions in the lab.
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, approachable foundation in chemistry.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first part of a two-part elementary chemistry course. It introduces chemical phenomena at the macroscopic level and the theoretical concepts that explain observed chemical behavior. The authors approach chemistry through chemical change, specifically focusing on the changes in properties that accompany changes in composition. Through detailed experiments, they show that chemical change results in the formation of entirely new substances from pre-existing substances. The authors present principles of chemistry as they emerged from and rest upon chemical facts. They emphasize the theoretical aspects of chemistry and avoid speculation. While the book does not provide a descriptive catalog of chemical facts regarding the properties and behaviors of individual elements and compounds, it does offer a comprehensive and thought-provoking introduction to the subject. The author demonstrates this science as a study of change and transformation and thereby reveals the logical development of a scientific discipline. They skillfully weave together facts and principles and along the way, they introduce the history and philosophy of chemistry. This text is a valuable resource that will help students to see the world as it is.
