Greetings everyone!
For about some weeks now I've been looking up some reactions over the web, and I am glad to say that a good amount has been generated within myself, which moved me to reproduce some reactions (thermite, and some other pyrotechnics), and started collecting several kinds of metals. After some experimentation, my desire changed ways and went more into trying to understand the "why's and how's" that are hidden within Chemistry, and thus an interest in augmenting my current levels of knowledge in that subject.
To start, I decided to look back on my old school notes, but realized that there's not the really intriguing answers I was looking for, so I opted to use a book instead, but I only got the very very basics into what chemistry is, but I am willing to learn and transform this curiosity into a long term hobby. Is there any book/book series you'd recommend to an amateur?
