Title: Good undergrad books that cover all aspects of chemistry, and are beyond AP?
Post by: IChO2007 on August 12, 2006, 09:55:59 PM: What are some good books that fit that description? I'm not referring to books focused on just nuclear or organic chemistry or something like that. I feel that if I read from such a type of book, I'll be prepared enough for the USNCO to get to the study camp and hopefully IChO. I will start with my AP book (taking AP Chem this year; got an 800 on the SAT Chem this spring after my introductory course), and then do this next book if there is a recommendation.

Thanks.

I saw this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0750633654/104-6480675-6109521?v=glance&n=283155

Is that good for beyond AP?
