General Chemistry Study Guide

Preparing for Your ACS Examination in General Chemistry: The Official Guide

(commonly called the General Chemistry Study Guide)

ISBN: 978-1-7327764-0-1

This guide includes 201 pages of information separated into first-term and second-term general chemistry material.  Each section contains 8 chapters of material that also aligns to most general chemistry textbooks for a seamless addition to study materials for students.  Each chapter is designed with an introductory section of the material including common representations and where to find this material in a textbook.  The second section provides worked examples of typical, multiple choice questions including how the correct answer is determined as well as how the incorrect answers were determined.  Also included for each study problem is a listing of the corresponding practice questions that use that concept.  The final section is a series of practice problems to test the concepts collectively.  The key is provided on a separate page for all study and practice problems.
