The following links open Acrobat files for the chemistry-first version of An Introduction to Chemistry by Mark Bishop. Gray boxes in the chapter files and outline boxes in the study guide files are active links to Internet tools that supplement the information in the chapters.

(If you use this site regularly, I would greatly appreciate it if you sent me a small payment to compensate for the work involved. Thanks.)

These are fairly large files, so if you have a slow Internet connection, they will take awhile to download. Please be patient.
