Salient Features

" New and Updated - Worked Examples provide more than any other text on the market and are tightly integrated into the text's flow and concise narrative. Updated - End-of-Chapter Problems have been reviewed and analyzed by author Jill Robinson for accuracy and to ensure each problem is tied to a learning objective in the end-of-chapter Study Guide. All End-of-Chapter problems now tie to specific examples throughout the text, supporting the intuitive flow of material. Updated - Inquiry sections highlight the importance of chemistry, promote student interest, and deepen student understanding of the content by showcasing problems that revisit several chapter concepts. Conceptual Problems: Conceptual understanding is a primary focus of this book. Conceptual problems are intended to help with the critical skill of visualizing the structure and interactions of atoms and molecules while probing the understanding of key principles rather than the ability to correctly use numbers in an equation.
