Chemistry

Any books on 'practical' chemistry? Something I can use from time to time while actually teaching me the basics and reasons why those things are like that, without going too much into detail with things I'll never use?

i full kek'd
also check school books unironically from youngest class and go up, you can start litrerally in library, also dont bother which year version is it, they are all the same just mixed words and new pics

I've though about it, even found a nice looking 300-page chemistry book written as a university textbook that starts from the basics, but with my experience in school I'd say it's not really what I'm looking for. I've studied things like physics and electrical engineering several times from middle school to university, but not a single time has almost any of that stuck in my head because they never mention any real world applications of explanations for those things (I'd say that's what fucked me over a lot for my grades lol).
Only thing I remember from physics in university is that speed can be expressed as dx/dt, I dunno why I found that so interesting.
Not a single thing has been explained in electrical engineering; why the switch to ac from dc? how does ac actually work? why adjust the circuit for specific transfer of power with resonant frequency? Pretty embarrassing for a graduate of electrical engineering huh lol

The more you understand details of chemistry, the more you understand why things are like they are

Flour and sugar are explosives.

Go read Principles of Modern Chemistry by Oxtoby

Technically even stuff like asbestos and sand can combust with the right oxidizing agent i.e. chlorine trifluoride.

Start with the Greeks, specially Democritus.

Use to do what?

Can't take chemistry seriously. Why is this even consiered a standalone science? Its just electrons and protons moving from atom to atom

Cool! I really like that.

Whatever I can without professional equipment. Think MacGyver (if I remember him correctly, haven't heard that name in years until this very moment) or any deus ex machina.

Sound interesting, I'll check it out, thanks.

That's what I'm talking about!


I'm not interesting in making bombs, if that's what my post sounds like. I'm talking mostly about understanding chemical processes around us. For example how seed oil can be cancerogenic because the polyunsaturated fats in it are made up of linoleic acid which easily oxidized IIRC.
I'm sorry if my question and request sounds too vague, I don't know how to word it better.

Good thing it's a meme and only 0.05% of readers actually try those recipes.
