Designed for science students, this book provides an introduction to atomic and molecular structure and bonding. Following two initial chapters on atomic structure and the electronic properties of atoms and molecules, the book is largely organized according to molecule size, moving from an examination of diatomic molecules in Chapter Three to the "infinitely large" atomic clusters in Chapter Six. To facilitate teaching and self-study, each chapter ends with a large selection of questions and problems. The author has collected numerous awards and honours, including awards for excellence in the teaching of chemistry.

Great Intro to College-Level Chemistry,
By
This review is from: Chemical Bonds: An Introduction to Atomic and Molecular Structure (Paperback)
This is a great supplementary book for an introductory-level college chemistry course. It explains major concepts and theories in full detail, but refrains from the intense mathematical derivations of some functions that aren't required for a general chemistry course. Gray uses a common-sense approach in tackling complex functions, visually showing their physical counterparts (such as orbitals in the case of the Schrodinger Equation) rather than relying solely on equations.

This review is from: Chemical Bonds: An Introduction to Atomic and Molecular Structure (Paperback)
I did get some information from this book, but basicly it wasway over my head.
