Publisher's Note This is a beautifully presented and well-written general chemistry book. It offers a "thinking" or "conceptual" approach to problem solving in the world of chemistry. Effective, vibrant, and pedagogically sound illustrations helps to visualize chemical concepts. Computer-rendered graphics illustrate the relationship between the seen (macroscopic) and the unseen (atomic and molecular) chemical world. The illustrations establish a visual connection between the written descriptions of chemical phenomena and how the processes occur.
Industry Reviews A colorful, pedagogically enhanced standard textbook for the introductory course. It begins with atomic structure, proceeds next to bonding and molecules, then to bulk physical properties of substances, and ends with a study of chemical properties. Each chapter concludes with a brief description of an interesting application or extension of the chapter subject, a summary, a list of key words, and a large number of problems. Many student-oriented supplements are available. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Rowell
