About this ebook
Chemistry: Atoms First 2nd Edition by Paul Flowers, Edward Neth, William Robinson, Klaus Theopold, and Richard Langley is a general chemistry textbook published by OpenStax. Unlike traditional chemistry textbooks, this "atoms-first" approach introduces atomic theory, electronic structure, and chemical bonding first, delaying more abstract math-heavy topics like stoichiometry until later. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The textbook spans 21 core chapters covering a full two-semester introductory chemistry sequence: [1]
Foundational Concepts & Atomic Structure
  • Chapter 1: Essential Ideas – Chemistry in context, phases, classifications of matter, measurement, physical/chemical properties, and mathematical math tools. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions – Early atomic theory, the evolution of atomic models, atomic structure, chemical formulas, and the basics of the periodic table. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Chapter 3: Electronic Structure and Periodic Properties of Elements – Quantum theory, Bohr's model, development of quantum mechanics, electron configurations, and periodic trends (e.g., ionization energy, atomic radius). [1, 2, 3, 4]
Bonding & Molecular Architecture
  • Chapter 4: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Geometry – Ionic and covalent bonding, Lewis symbols/structures, formal charges, resonance, and VSEPR theory. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 5: Advanced Theories of Bonding – Valence bond theory, hybrid atomic orbitals, multiple bonds, and molecular orbital (MO) theory. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Quantitative Chemistry & States of Matter
  • Chapter 6: Composition of Substances and Solutions – Formula mass, the mole concept, percent composition, empirical formulas, and molarity.
  • Chapter 7: Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions – Writing and balancing equations, precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions, limiting reactants, and reaction yields.
  • Chapter 8: Gases – Gas pressure, ideal gas laws, stoichiometry of gaseous reactions, effusion/diffusion, and kinetic-molecular theory.
  • Chapter 9: Thermochemistry – Energy basics, calorimetry, enthalpy, and Hess's law.
  • Chapter 10: Liquids and Solids – Intermolecular forces, phase transitions, properties of liquids, and crystalline solid structures.
  • Chapter 11: Solutions and Colloids – The dissolution process, electrolytes, solubility, colligative properties, and colloids. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Thermodynamics, Kinetics, & Equilibrium
  • Chapter 12: Thermodynamics – Spontaneity, entropy, the second and third laws of thermodynamics, and free energy.
  • Chapter 13: Fundamental Equilibrium Concepts – Chemical equilibrium states, equilibrium constants, and Le Châtelier's principle.
  • Chapter 14: Acid-Base Equilibria – Brønsted-Lowry acids/bases, pH scale, weak acids/bases, hydrolysis, buffers, and titrations.
  • Chapter 15: Equilibria of Other Reaction Classes – Precipitation/dissolution, solubility product constant (\(K_{sp}\)), and coordination complex chemistry.
  • Chapter 16: Electrochemistry – Galvanic/voltaic cells, standard reduction potentials, the Nernst equation, batteries, and electrolysis.
  • Chapter 17: Kinetics – Chemical reaction rates, factors affecting rates, rate laws, integrated rate laws, collision theory, and reaction mechanisms. [1, 2]
Descriptive Chemistry, Nuclear, & Organic Foundations
  • Chapter 18: Representative Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals – Periodic trends, properties, and reactions of main-group elements.
  • Chapter 19: Transition Metals and Coordination Chemistry – Properties, coordination compounds, naming, structures, crystal field theory, and magnetism.
  • Chapter 20: Nuclear Chemistry – Radioactivity, nuclear equations, radioactive decay rates, fission/fusion, and applications of isotopes.
  • Chapter 21: Organic Chemistry – Hydrocarbons, functional groups (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carbonyls), and brief introductions to polymers and biomolecules. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
