Chemistry Made Easy: An Illustrated Study Guide For Students To Easily Learn Chemistry

by NEDU

This book includes over 300 illustrations to help you visualize what is necessary to understand chemistry at it's core. While Chemistry is a huge topic, it's not necessary to spend years studying it unless it's your major in college. For most of us, we need a clear grasp on the subject to progress through school. This book has you covered.
You will surely not be a chemistry newbie after reading this. You will learn that chemistry is about matter. You can break matter down a great deal—all the way down to molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles. The smaller the matter, the more fascinating it gets. Click the cover to see what's inside.

bought this to shtudy before college bc i had a $2 amazon coupon. not the best bc i haven’t learned anything. i still don’t know what an electron even is. not rlly sure where the “easy” in the title is. anyways i go cry. sal khan was better at explaining this than the book😵‍💫
i’ll give it an extra star bc they used small words for me to understand though😎

Good intro to Chemistry

Some typos here and there, but otherwise I felt I gained a general knowledge of the subject. One gripe I have is that the author assumes the reader won't be pursuing a career related to Chemistry.

Educational book with quite a few typos… does not make chemistry easy. I still enjoyed it as a high school chemistry teacher as it provided new analogies and visuals for me to use in the classroom.

Chemistry can be a very intimidating scientific field. Just looking at molecule chains—especially organic, proteinaceous ones—presents a daunting kind of density to the untrained eye. The good news is that the eye can be trained, and that the basics can be learned in a few easy lessons.

“Chemistry Made Easy” makes a complex subject as simple as it possibly can be made. The book makes no claims to offer the reader a “philosopher’s stone,” some kind of alchemical pneumonic device that will unriddle it all, if you’re taking a test tomorrow and need to cram.

It is well-organized, starting with the basics of matter, then moving on to atomic theory while understandably sidestepping the subatomic. Since the tools and education required to observe such phenomena involve the outlay of tons of money and time, there’s no need to even try to teach that here. Some subdisciplines of chemistry simply cannot be made easy, and can’t even really be explained to the layman to their satisfaction, without leaving out some of the quintessence. Heck, some phenomena are so puzzling that even a super-genius like Linus Pauling had to ultimately submit to the great mystery undergirding everything. Eventually you just gotta throw your hands up, mutter some words about primordial soup, and speculate about some abiogenic Ur-Stoff we haven’t laid hand or eye on yet. It may in fact be something that our faculty are adapted to filter out or not see, which may be very much to our benefit.

There’s a reason that alchemy in many ways gave birth (or gave way) to chemistry, much as astrology provided a basis (or at least star charts) for astronomy in its early stages. With the rise of nanotechnology and the manipulation of matter at the sub-angstrom level, there’s even a chance to create gold potentially not from base metals, but literally ex nihilo. Woe betide the man or woman who unlocks that box!

Anyway, good book, recommended for laity, the kids, and teachers looking for a course load that can be managed in months or stretched across a whole year, depending on how fast or slow you want to go.

An excellent generic guide to intros of chemistry. I think anyone who reads through this book will learn something. There is a large increase in difficulty / comprehension towards that end of the book, which is likely due to the complexity and abundance of information in organic and biochemical topics.

Great for refreshing chemistry but I would personally say if you are new to chemistry it skims over stuff. It was a nice refresher tho
