really thats awesome... i'm having a little bit of hard time understanding this chp (did you teacher give you good notes? )

Answer 9

I prefer J.D. Lee for inorganic chemistry. It is a good book: http://www.amazon.com/Concise-Inorganic-Chemistry-J-Lee/dp/0632052937

Teacher doesn't provide us any notes. :)

Answer 10

is it a big textbook?

Answer 11

has it been useful for all chps or just this one?

Answer 12

It is good for inorganic chemistry. Book is big but you will get a good understanding. If you are from India, than I would have recommended you an Indian Book, good for academic understanding. :)

Answer 13

are you going to major in a science field? how about for principals of chem would it also be useful for that?
