The book takes a deep dive into various concepts of chemistry. It starts with the basics—like like the building blocks of any chemical phenomenon—and then moves into explaining how those pieces fit together to create a complex phenomenon. It shows how chemists use experiments, data plots, and formulas to figure out if complex chemical phenomenons.
The book also explores reaction mechanisms—the actual step-by-step pathways that chemical phenomenons follow—and teaches how to simplify messy, multi-step chemical phenomenons using steady-state assumptions. Finally, it explains how different factors like temperature and pressure changes can make a chemical phenomenon speed up or slow down. By the end, readers not only understand the the science behind chemical phenomenons but also why these concepts matter in real-life chemistry, from industry to biology.
