Title overview

Hallmark features of this title

  • Multipart molecular images depicted through Macroscopic, Microscopic and Symbolic perspectives help students better visualize and understand chemistry.
  • Conceptual Connections and Self-Assessment Quizzes give students practice studying as they extinguish misconceptions and deepen understanding of key topics.
  • 4-step problem-solving approach (Sort, Strategize, Solve and Check) in worked examples connects concepts to the problem and solution by developing a conceptual plan for each problem.
  • 2 & 3 column worked examples break down problem-solving steps: the 1st column outlines the problem-solving procedure and reasoning behind each step; the 2nd and 3rd columns show how to implement the steps with examples.
