clear descriptions

The book is pitched towards a final year of high school or a first undergraduate year. Where the latter is perhaps for a non-chemistry major. Moore writes straightforwardly about basic concepts like Avogardro's Number and molarity. There is also some coverage of organic chemistry. Of necessity, this goes little beyond definitions of the main organic types, like ethers, esters and aldehydes. Organic chemistry has a rich network of synthesis pathways that the text can only touch the fringes of. Yet hopefully, a keen student might be encouraged enough to remember these terms and even venture deep into chemistry.
