Hey guys,

I am taking chem 101 this fall, but it has been a long time since I took chemistry in high school. I am looking for a good short intro to the topics that are usually covered in a first year chem course. Can anyone recommend any good and relatively short (less that 300 pages) intro to chemistry?

Thanks,

Huh, good call on the AP books. But, if you want, there's also: http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/notes.shtml ...

Good site to explore if you're interested in basic chemistry... someone else on this forum suggested it.
