The transition between school and university presents new challenges and ideas for the student of chemistry. This Primer, written jointly by two undergraduates and a university professor is ideally suited to the needs of students at the school/university interface by taking material familiar from school and linking it witha selection of ideas that will be encountered in the freshman year. As well as stimulating preuniversity students it will provide a sound basis for university courses in chemistry and related subjects. The early chapters cover the structure of atomes, ions and molecules, reactivity, kinetics, and equilibria. The final chapter gives an insight into more advanced areas, drawing on real world examples.

Reviews
"very much to be recommended for all first year chemistry students at German universities, both for reading and as a workbook." Zeitshcrift fur Physikalische Chemie, 215:2, 2001
This is a recent addition to the excellant value, Zeneca-sponsored Oxford chemistry primers. ... this text serves well as a stand alone source, ... Like other books in the Oxford chemistry primers series that I have seen, the text is extremely well illustrated ... I found the book to be very well written and structured. I recommend it highly, particularly because the readers can learn much general and physical chemistry from it. On a personal level, I didn't realise that working through 105 problems could be so rewarding!. J S J Hargreaves/Chemistry In Britain/ October 1999
