Product Description
Say goodbye to dry presentations,
grueling formulas, and abstract theory that would put Einstein to
sleep--now there's an easier way to master chemistry, biology,
trigonometry, and geometry. McGraw-Hill's Demystified Series teaches
complex subjects in a unique, easy-to-absorb manner and is designed for
users without formal training, unlimited time, or genius IQs.
Organized like self-teaching guides, they come complete with key
points, background information, questions at the end of each chapter,
and final exams. There's no better way to gain instant expertise!

HERE'S A BREAKTHOUGH FORMULA FOR UNDERSTANDING CHEMISTRY
Forget dry presentations, abstract theory, and grueling homework
assignments -- here's an entertaining and effective way for those
without formal training or unlimited time to get up-to-speed on
chemistry and the foundational components of matter. With Chemistry Demystified,
you master the subject one simple step at a time -- at your own speed.
Unlike most books on chemistry, general principles are presented first,
and the details follow. In order to make the learning process as clear
and simple as possible, heavy-duty math, formulas, and equations are
kept to a minimum. This unique self-teaching guide offers questions at
the end of each chapter and section to pinpoint weaknesses, and a
150-question final exam to reinforce the entire book. You'll also find
a host of "extras" such as Chembites, tips, scientific news, and
cutting-edge industry applications not usually found in standard
textbooks. Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Chemistry Demystified is the painless alternative to learning or brushing up on chemistry. Here's everything you need to:
* Understand the components of matter
* Grasp symbols and naming standards used in chemistry
* Learn elements, electrons, and the Periodic Table
* Discover the composition of atoms
* Comprehend subatomic particles
* Execute formulaic calculations
* Understand properties and reactions
* Comprehend solubility, boiling, and freezing points
* Discern surface tension
