GENERAL CHEMISTRY Textbook

In the late 1980's the working group of the Department of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society recognized the need to eliminate quantum chemistry from the general chemistry course and to promote alternative methods of teaching. "We will probably never get widespread agreement on how to reform General Chemistry until a truly new textbook is published, which influences enough teachers to change, so that the new way of teaching becomes the accepted way... in detail >>
