5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful!

Very useful if you are rusty with terms and definitions about Chemistry. I'm not that great in Chemistry, but after purchasing this dictionary and reading definitions like what is an ionic compound, I now know how Chemistry works in our society! Thank you, Penguin Refrence for supplying us high and college scholars a resource that will help us succeed in life.

I'm always surprised to find, "Racemic" described as a 50-50 mix! Surely, SN1 & SN2 would both be applicable, forcing probability away from equal mixes? Oxford Chemistry Dictionary uses a similar definition to Penguin. Perhaps, racemisation is a tendency rather than an absolute?
