This book is titled The Right Chemistry and is the book I've been waiting for.
Finally some chemistry and a nice thick book of it.
The book starts off gently enough by considering the atom and progressing to the periodic table.
Next chemical formulae are briefly introduced before we consider metals and their reactivity.
The book then looks at chemical reactions, reaction rates and equilibrium.
Finally organic chemistry is introduced.
There is a practical experiment which involved measuring the pH of various household chemicals. It wasn't very exciting and a bit of a disappointment after the one for book 3 but you can't have everything.
I found I flew through this book, it was such a page turner (I kid you not) that I finished it three weeks before the scheduled completion date. This allowed me to make a start on the next book early as well as fit a holiday in.
