Libro que debes tener...

Reviewed in Mexico on 9 October 2017

Excelente libro de Peter Atkins. Cubre los tópicos básicos de un curso de química general de dos semestres. La sección "fundamentals" ayuda a organizar y evaluar los requerimientos mínimos que deben cubrir los alumnos. Entrega a tiempo y a buen precio. Sin embargo, no se procuró un buen empaque del libro.

Reviewed in the United States on 17 June 2018

First, I would recommend renting this book rather than buying it as it is definitely much cheaper.
When my rental arrived, it was in great, almost new, condition as every page seemed fresh.
As for the book itself, it is wonderful because it provides historic background behind each section which eliminates boredom and brings more engagement and understanding of the origin of each lesson and why it is so important.
Sure you might not have time to read the whole chapter, but when you do it is really worth it. Even if you do not, a quick skim through the great examples and explanations you need is more than helpful.
This particular textbook I found does not have all the answers in the back, so the best alternative I found was Chegg, which has all the same problems and answers from this book (that is if you actually plan on getting a chegg account). Just paste and search the ISBN on chegg and the answers for this book should be there (beware the first chapter has some incorrect answers). Of course your TA and office hours are a great and very much recommended source as well for getting help and checking your work.
Overall, I was satisfied with the service and the bargain cost considering I rented it for 36$. There was no hassle receiving and returning this book. I recommend it especially if you have Amazon Prime.
Unfortunately, by reading the reviews, not everyone has the same experience by renting it. However, you must realize that if you can read it, then that is all you really need. It is alright if it has a busted sticky cover or torn corners. Just put a book sleeve over it and pretend that stuff was never there.

Hi, I'm Karl

Just get the 6th edition, all the same material in the same order

Reviewed in the United States on 28 July 2017

Verified Purchase

It had a long strip of black electrical tape all the way around the top of the book with a giant "used book" sticker underneath. It looks so bad and dirty/sticky.

According to my professor, the 6th and 7th edition are exactly the same except that the problems at the end of the chapter are slightly different and out of order (ie it will ask you to convert 15g of Ar to mol instead of 18g of Mg in the 7th edition). So just get the 6th edition if you don't have homework assignments from the book. My professor recommended we get the 6th, but I already bought this before class started since that's what the university bookstore was selling.

Textbooks make "new" editions every few years that are the same as the previous so that they don't lose too much money to the used book market, in case you didn't know.
