Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Ninth Edition of this market-leading text has been substantially revised to meet the quickly changing instructional demands of General Chemistry professors. Known for its carefully developed, thoroughly integrated, step-by-step approach to problem solving, General Chemistry helps students master quantitative skills and build a lasting conceptual understanding of key chemical concepts. The Ninth Edition retains this hallmark approach and builds upon the conceptual focus through key new features and revisions.

I thought I had already written a review for this seller but I guess it didn't went through. I bought a book from this seller and was very happy with my purchase. The book came a few days earlier then expected was was in very good condition. I plan to buy from this seller again, when my new quarter starts.

This seller is excellent, the description of the product was accurate. My only complain was that the item requested took long to arrive. Other than that I would recommnend this seller to anyone.

Ebbing Chemistry presents chemistry as "physics at the atomic level." It seems this text is geared towards those majoring in chemistry, physics, or engineering and not necessarily biology majors. Some texts are vague, while Ebbying's clearly explains core concepts like atomic structure, the gas laws, and stoichiometry. Clear, logical problem-solving is stressed and demostrated with examples in each section.
At the risk of sounding too elementary or juvenile, there is plenty of "color" in this text. What I mean is that important charts, high-quality experiment pictures, and molecular diagrams all serve to make reading through 20-page chapters more enjoyable. Another key feature in of this text is that there is a wealth of information on the uses of chemicals and different manufacturing and industrial techniques in the end-of-chapter problems. Just reading through the problems enlightens you about the many chemical processes used today.

This book is very simply written, and thus very useful if you have limited chemistry experiance. It does not waste time on painful examples, the examples given are very well explained, nor does it overcomplicate the simple basics of Chemistry. Although i grant that the problems of the book are simple, they are perfect if these concepts introduced are actually new to you, and hopefully your instructor will give you some harder ones to supliment.
I am largely comparing it to Koltz and Triechal's Chemistry and Chemical reactivity, which is the most painful book to slog through. This book is a refreshing restbit and should be used before going into any of the more complex facets of Chemistry.

I am currently using this book as a first-year biology major, taking the average bio major's chem class. I have found this book to be poorly written and often unclear. I have found several mathematical and theoretical mistakes among the problems of the book, and as other reviewers have mentioned, it is very simplified and does not encompass more than the basic attributes and applications to whatever laws and theories it covers. The worst thing about this book is the fact that it is just an absolute pain to read. Chemistry is not as boring as this book makes it out to be. This text is not engaging at all. With all of the Chem texts I've seen in my professor's office, I wonder what made her choose this awful one to require for the class (thankfully, after thumbing through another one of her texts and commenting on how interesting it made everything, she said I could have it).
