Book Reviews of Prentice Hall Chemistry

Book Review: My highschool textbook
Summary: 2 Stars

This book is a good study aid if you have a good instructor. However, depending on this book to teach you chemistry may become a little confusing (as my high school teacher is currently doing). I noticed that it's not very straightforward. Say you were learning about radiation - the types of radiation and how decay occurs. The text itself won't tell you exactly how the mass or atomic number changes after a certain radioactive decay. Rather, it provides you with assessment questions at the end of each section with direct questions about number changes, making it so that you would have to figure out from the extensive number of examples what the answer is. This textbook's method of teaching is making the reader infer, which is great for literature, but certainly not for textbooks. I recommend something that is more concise and straightforward: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry, 2nd Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to). What takes 3 pages to explain in the textbook is explained in 3 paragraphs in this guide.
