In summary, the conversation discusses a student's struggles with their general chemistry professor and assigned textbook. They have been using an alternate textbook but are still having difficulty understanding certain concepts. They are looking for online resources to review for an upcoming exam.

Hi, my Prof. for general chemistry isn't too great, as he often goes on tangents and doesn't explain the required material.

The textbook assigned (mcquarrie) is also really bad, so I've been instead reading Brown-Lemay Chemistry, which is better. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover the material exactly, so I am stuck trying to learn it myself.

The exam is next Tuesday, and while I am familiar with most of the concepts, the more recent ones (Quantum theory + Gases) are harder to understand.

Are there any online resources that I could review with?

Thanks in advance!
