I am looking for a very concise book on chemistry that is under or equal to 300 pages.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
For beginners? For review? Applied? Descriptive? Theory & foundations?
 
Yes, for beginners. And what I am talking about is general chemistry.

You might try finding a first edition of Pauling's General Chemistry, 250 pp..
 
at 300 pages it's not going to be very concise.
 
where to start for studying basic chemistry? help please, thank you :)
 
In High school and first year college, Sienko and Plane, Chemistry is quite good. But it is old
 
You might want to have a look at the first hundred pages or so of "Chemical Principles: the quest for insight" by Atkins and Jones.
You can buy a used edition (I bought the first edition for a penny) on Amazon or other used books stores and it will have the bonus of a full-fledged book attached to it.
