Chemical Principles. Third Edition

Written by: Richard E Dickerson, Harry B. Gray and Gilbert P. Haight

Since the librarians at Cal Tech have taken the time to scan and include this book in their online library, I suspect it still offers something helpful for students studying general chemistry. It was written in 1979 by Richard E Dickerson, Harry B. Gray and Gilbert P. Haight. They designed their textbook to be used by both science and non-science majors as a general university chemistry course.

Each chapter of Chemical Principles begins with a list of key concepts. They end with a chapter summary and 20-40 self-study questions. In some chapters, the questions have been paired so that the solved odd-numbered problem is similar to the even-numbered problem that instructors might assign students.

It includes a number of “survey chapters” that introduce the sub-specialties within chemistry like inorganic, kinetic chemistry, nuclear, organic, coordination chemistry and biochemistry.
