Title overview

For courses in 2-semester general chemistry.

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach presents chemistry visually through macroscopic, molecular and symbolic multi-level images to help students see the connections between chemistry and the world around them. Nivaldo Tro's consistent problem-solving approach (Sort, Strategise, Solve, Check) and active learning tools engage students in becoming expert problem solvers and critical thinkers.

The 6th Edition presents interactive digital features that guide students through key concepts and the problem-solving process. Updates reflect current research on the COVID-19 vaccine and an extensive diversity, equity and inclusion review.
