Title overview

Russo and Silver's Introductory Chemistry incorporates an atoms-first approach that guides you to start learning chemistry from the building blocks of matter before you progress to understanding complex chemistry concepts. The text emphasizes quantitative skills and conceptual knowledge that will help you develop a true understanding of chemistry rather than relying on rote memorization.

The 5th Edition will engage you with new chapter-opening vignettes related to the chapter content and offers a wide range of opportunities that allow you to practice your understanding of key concepts.
