In college, after I took gen-chem, I worked at a tutor for the school. The best text book I came across was Trio's "Chemistry: A Molecular Approach." here is the link for a $12 older edition.
I would recommend getting a cheap text book and use it as a reference while watching Khan Academy videos.
If anyone's taking general chemistry, I have this book:
in perfect condition. It's not the same edition used this year but they don't actually assign homework from it (they do hw on mastering chemistry and blackboard - at least they did when I took it).
It's 100 bucks used on Amazon and I'm willing to sell it for 70 bucks.
I also have this organic chemistry solution manual:
also in good condition. Amazon sells it used for 87 bucks. I'm willing to sell it for 60.
PM me if interested about either of them. I'm at south campus every day. =]
Chemistry: A Molecular Approach by Tro is my favorite gen. chem book. Really well-written and easy to understand.
