The Tenth Edition of Organic Chemistry continues Solomons/Fryhle’s tradition of excellence in teaching and preparing students for success in the organic classroom and beyond. In the Tenth Edition , virtually every aspect of the teaching and learning solution has been revisited and redesigned to assist students in comprehending the fundamentals of organic chemistry. The authors’ thoroughly explain and illustrate each new idea when it is first introduced and then reinforce the new idea or concept by having students work related problems.
This textbook was an amazing follow up read to a honors chemistry textbook such as Chemistry by Stephen Zumdahl. With that context in mind, I really loved reading this textbook and thoroughly exploring the complex subject of organic chemistry. The book covers everything from the basics of organic chemistry to the most complicated, intricate topics such as the biological applications of such organic chemistry. The book includes diagrams, charts, tables, is arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way, and the writing style is fluid and relatively to read. Being easy to read was a huge plus for this textbook; being interested in the material is not easy if it is a struggle to read the text. Having said this, the only complaint I have with this textbook is that it does require quite a lot of previous knowledge. This makes sense, as the subject is an advanced level of chemistry, but it does make this book not suitable for most people.
Im good at Chem, but I just hate it so much, I didn't work at my ap chemistry course for a whole semester and bought this book to study a week before the test and I got an awesome grade, it focuses more on different types of reactions and it's not that dense.
