Designed for science students, this book provides an introduction to atomic and molecular structure and bonding. Following two initial chapters on atomic structure and the electronic properties of atoms and molecules, the book is largely organized according to molecule size, moving from an examination of diatomic molecules in Chapter Three to the "infinitely large" atomic clusters in Chapter Six. To facilitate teaching and self-study, each chapter ends with a large selection of questions and problems. The author has collected numerous awards and honours, including awards for excellence in the teaching of chemistry.

An ideal primer for those who wish to improve their scientific literacy, this book is beautifully written and especially recommended for high school and undergraduate nonmajor science courses. Amply illustrated chapters on chemical bonding, biochemistry, cancer, and the atmosphere are interspersed with such chapters as "The Alchemist's Dream," "Newsworthy Molecules" and "WallStreet Chemistry." To facilitate this book's use in the classroom, a complete set of problems and sample exams are available from the publisher.
