<p>We used the Raymond Chang 8th edition book for our Chem 105 class. I took it last semester, and my grades were definitely nothing to write home about, and rather embarassing. I'm a pretty bad math student, and that coupled with my academic foolishness and naivete during my first semester really killed my grades. Anyway, the farthest I remember us getting was pi and sigma bonds, and redox reactions. We got a little farther, but the stuff towards the very end was frankly very much over my head. </p>
<p>I also don't have very much Chemistry background, since the only class of Chemistry I had before taking Chem 105 was an extremely basic and easy sophomore Chem class in high school. Our school offered no other chem classes. </p>
<p>I myself actually learned a lot more basic chemistry through my biology book (written by Campell) than I did in the chemistry class itself, for whatever reason. I think it explained the material better. Hopefully when I retake Chem next semester I'll be ready to actually do what I need to in order to get an A . . .</p>
