The Chem1 Virtual Textbook is a
resource for General Chemistry aimed mainly at the first-year
university level.
It offers a more comprehensive, organized,
and measured approach than is found in most standard
textbooks. It should also be accessible to advanced
high-school courses, and helpful as review material for
students in more advanced courses in chemistry, biology,
geology, and engineering.
