Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to lend a helping hand to a first year chem student. I have forgotten a lot of material from my high school courses and am currently struggling just with completing the reviews. The book that I'm using is called "General Chemistry-Principles & Modern Applications" by Petrucci, Harwood, Herring, and Madura. If someone could get back to me it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Abe.

On this level of generality it is hard to help; simply post specific questions when they show up.
