Incredible
That is the worst physical chemistry textbook I've ever seen, though I haven't seen too many. To not go into deep detail this is about the material presentation. The choices that the authors made on what to tell and what not to tell as well as what to say about some concepts and issues are against the goal of good understanding and memorizing.The new edition has colored pictures and "Impact On" sections which is very good, but I can not be silent about the thing that I cannot imagine could come to someone's head: the was an attempt to convert as many units as possible to SI all over the book. Like, it says "dm^3 (decimeter cubed)" everywhere where it would say "l (liter)" in 7th edition.The atomic energies are expressed in attojoules. Good thing they haven't completely removed the electronvoltes, but it's not that easy to find them now.The only reason to buy this book is when you have no other choice.
