Hi, I graduated college and am not a chem major. I was able to take electives and could pick any class I wanted in the sciences. I really wanted to take both chem and physics. However, I could could pick one sciences and most of my friends picked astronomy, geography because it was an easy A. I myself had to choose between physics and chemistry. I picked chemistry and was able to select the 3rd chem class level which does a review over basics and takes you to an intermediate level of chemistry. I got an A in that class and it's been a few years since then. I personally want to go back to the basics and review what I learned and try and self teach to a higher level. I find chemistry really fun and have an interest in it. I would like someone to suggest a good book that will teach me the basics which normally start off by taking measurements and doing conversions all the way to balancing the chemistry equations to ions etc. The last few chapters I think were on the chemistry of medicine about solutes etc and eletro chemistry on how batteries work.
