Beginners in chemistry often find the terminology bewildering, and basic concepts difficult to summarize. This primer provides an alphabetical listing of concepts encountered up to a first year undergraduate inorganic chemistry course. Each entry provides more information than can be found in current chemistry dictionaries, and is written in accessible, student-friendly style. Whether using the primer to cram for exams or for quick explanations of unfamiliar topics, every chemistry student should have a copy at their desks.

Review
`The style of the book is excellent; it has many useful illustrations and the level is just right for first-year students. The content is not too mathematical ... I strongly recommend this book to all first-year undergraduate chemistry students.' Chemistry in Britain, February 1996

EOIC1 REVIEW,
This review is from: Essentials of Inorganic Chemistry 1 (Oxford Chemistry Primers) (v. 1) (Paperback)
This book, although it contains alot of information, doesn't have much detail. It is structured like an encyclopedia, with alphabetic categories, consequently it's not a book for reading but for reference. There is no fluidity to the read and is merely a port of call for some basic information.
