Book Information
This innovative, pedagogically driven text explains difficult concepts in a student-oriented manner. The book offers a rigorous and accessible treatment of general chemistry in the context of relevance. Chemistry is presented visually through multi-level images--macroscopic, molecular and symbolic representations--helping students see the connections among the formulas (symbolic), the world around them (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that make up the world (molecular). KEY TOPICS: Units of Measurement for Physical and Chemical Change;Atoms and Elements; Molecules, Compounds, and Nomenclature;Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry;Gases;Thermochemistry;The Quantum-Mechanical Model of the Atom;Periodic Properties of the Elements;Chemical Bonding I: Lewis Theory;Chemical Bonding II: Molecular Shapes, Valence Bond Theory, and Molecular Orbital Theory;Liquids, Solids, and Intermolecular Forces;Solutions;Chemical Kinetics;Chemical Equilibrium;Acids and Bases;Aqueous Ionic Equilibrium;Gibbs Energy and Thermodynamics;Electrochemistry;Radioactivity and Nuclear Chemistry;Organic Chemistry I: Structures;Organic Chemistry II: Reactions;Biochemistry;Chemistry of the Nonmetals;Metals and Metallurgy;Transition Metals and Coordination Compounds MARKET: Appropriate for General Chemistry (2 - Semester) courses.
