Fundamentals of Sustainable Chemical Science

By Stanley E. Manahan

Book Overview

Written for readers with no chemistry background, this book presents the basics of general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. The first chapter provides a brief mini-course, defining key terms that are required for understanding materials presented in the rest of the text. It develops chemistry as it would a language with its key parts. The author begins with a discussion of atoms and elements and then moves onto chemical compounds, chemical reactions, acids, bases, salts, solutions, solvents, chemistry with electricity, and finally, organic and biological chemistry. The book emphasizes renewable resources and energy and green chemistry in support of learned concepts.
