Product Description:
We’re all natural born chemists. Every time we cook, clean, take a shower, drive a car, use a solvent, such as fingernail polish remover, or perform any of the countless everyday activities that involve complex chemical reactions we’re doing chemistry. You might even say that we’re all participating in a grand chemistry experiment that started with the first human who mixed pigments to do a cave painting. Why do so many of us desperately resist learning chemistry when we’re young? Maybe it has something to do with the way it’s taught in school.

Now there’s a fun, easy way to learn basic chemistry. Whether you’re studying chemistry in school and you’re looking for a little help making sense of what’s being taught in class, or you’re just into learning new things for their own sake, Chemistry For Dummies gets you rolling with all the basics of matter and energy, atoms and molecules, acids and bases, and much more. In no time you’ll:
  • Understand atomic structure and function
  • Use the Periodic Table of elements
  • Know what happens when matter changes from one state to another
  • Explore ionic and covalent bonding
  • Get a handle on chemical reactions
  • Perform simple chemistry calculations
  • Understand acids, bases, pHs, antacids, and gases
  • Make sense Boyle’s Law, Avrogadro’s Law and other key laws in chemistry


Packed with examples of chemistry in action in everyday life, Chemistry For Dummies is a fascinating exploration of broad range of topics in chemistry, including:
  • States of matter, from the macroscopic to the microscopic
  • Understanding how the elements are arranged in the Periodic Table
  • Nuclear chemistry, radioactivity and radioactive decay
  • Positive and negative ions and ionic compounds
  • Covalent bonding in covalent compounds
  • Chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, and electrochemistry
  • The mole and how it’s used to calculate chemical reactions
  • Great serendipitous discoveries in chemistry
  • Environmental chemistry


Written in plain English and requiring only basic math, Chemistry For Dummies puts you on the fast track to mastering the basics of chemistry.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Easy do it yourselfer!
I needed this book for my nursing entrance exam, it was for sure worth every penny!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Insulted by Cover!
Sorry, but I couldn't get pass the cover of this supposedly helpful book. Unlike the "Physics for Dummies" or the "Biology for Dummies" books, J Wiley chose to use the picture of a Black kid to illustrate their chemistry text. There is an obvious biased message in that choice. I suggest you try another publisher if you need help in your chemistry class.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Helpful! Highly Recommended !
As a High Schooler who is taking Honors Chemistry, I bought this book in case I needed help understanding its abstract ideas. And boy am I glad I did! I don't know how many times I have referred to this book when struggling with the material covered in class. With its simple English for "Dummies", this book is very well written and really helps me grasp the concepts of Chemistry. If you are taking this class in the future and a little apprehensive about how well you will do in the world of atoms, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Chemistry Intro
An excellent introduction/refresher book. The only issue I had was the habitual America-centric writing I have to endure with most U.S books. When talking about pollution for example we only got figures for the United States as if no where else is relevant. These books are sold and read outside of the U.S.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - not intended for dummmies
It was a bit too detailed for my liking. I felt it could have been broken down into more laymans terms with more examples. I found it difficult to stay interested. it was more for a person going to be a chemist rather than a person trying to get a step ahead for a college chemistry course
