Great attention is given to the structure of atoms and molecules, the laws of chemical reactions, and oxidation-reduction processes. The book has been very popular in the Soviet Union and other countries for many years. During the author's life, it saw 12 editions in Russian and was repeatedly published in other languages. The time that has elapsed after the author's death, however, required the introduction of appreciable amendments into the book, first of all because of the deep penetration of chemistry into man branches of the national economy and of the tremendous growth in the volume of the factual material of chemistry. The required revision of the textbook was carried out in its sixteenth Russian edition (1973). An additional revision of the book mainly due to the transitlon to SI units of physical quantities and the associated alterations in the terminology was carried out in the nineteenth Russian edition (1977). The present English text has been translated from the 21 st Russian edition (1980), and to facilitate work with the book, has been divided into two volumes. The book is intended for students of higher educational institutions not majoring in chemistry. It will also be very helpful for persons studying the fundamentals of chemistry independently, and for students of chemicall technical schools and the senior classes of secondary schools.
