Is General Chemistry good for a beginner? I'm just learning to learn a bit about atomic theory

I washed out of chemistry years ago but I've had a copy of this as reference the entire time. I knew it had a little section on vitamins and one day I got curious about vitamins so I read just those two pages and learned a thing or two. Thanks Linus Pauling!

I love this book but you should think of it as a primer. Good first step.
Some a bit more advanced concepts are mentioned but not explained in depth providing a false sense of understanding. Pauling is a legend.

No, it isn't easy, the problems are bad, and it spends a lot of time on unnecessary shit. The best thing about the book is the chapters on different congeners. Applications are given. You can learn how transistors work. Fun stuff.

It's a good book if you're further into chemistry, right now I suggest khan academy.

This is the gold standard of intro texts.
I have the 12th edition from back in the day. There's a solution manual for the 12th on libgen, I'm not sure about others.
Goes without saying that all the recent editions are basically the same.

This is the book I had for chemistry. I really liked it, but I didn't study chem after that class.

It's a great book but, not for beginners. Can be kinda of a slog though and some of the questions are worded oddly.
