Good 101 chemistry books? and databooks?

[christian0710]

Hi.
I'm looking for a good 101 chemistry book (still big in size) for university. The kind of all around book with all the useful formulas, and explanation for how they are used.

Another type of book I'm looking for is a good datebook for chemistry, with all the table values such as ΔH ΔS (entropy) etc.

Any suggestions? :)

CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 2.5k pages of pure data.

Lewis and Evans : Chemistry

If the CRC book is to pricey then

Aylward and Findlay : SI Chemical Data

Nuffield Advanced Science Book of Data

Kay and Laby : Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants

Hey, thank you for the reply. Does Lewis and Evans include advanced acid/base equations and advanced sulubility product examples or is it more superficial?

Hello! I can recommend a few options for good 101 chemistry books and databooks. For a comprehensive textbook, I would suggest "Chemistry: The Central Science" by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, and Woodward. It covers all the fundamental concepts of chemistry and includes useful formulas and explanations on how to use them.

For a more concise and portable option, "Chemistry Essentials for Dummies" by John T. Moore is a great choice. It provides a simplified overview of key concepts and includes helpful tables and charts.

As for databooks, I would recommend "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics" for a comprehensive collection of tables and values, including ΔH and ΔS. Another useful databook is the "Chemistry Data Book" by David R. Lide, which includes a wide range of data and information on chemical compounds and reactions.

I hope this helps with your search for good chemistry books and databooks! Happy studying!
