Introductory Chemistry, Global Edition, 7th edition

For 1-semester courses in introductory chemistry.

Introductory Chemistry shows how chemistry manifests in students' daily lives. Award-winning instructor and author Nivaldo Tro draws on his classroom experience to engage students, capture their attention with relevant applications, and extend chemistry from the laboratory to their world.

The 7th Edition in SI Units delivers a new Predict feature, Self-Assessment Quizzes, and additional end-of-chapter questions, while expanded active learning tools help students in developing problem-solving skills. An extensive diversity, equity, and inclusion review ensures the content reflects the experiences of all students.

Key features

• 4-step process (Sort, Strategise, Solve and Check) helps students learn how to develop a problem-solving approach.
• 2- & 3-column worked Examples break down problem-solving steps: the 1st column outlines the problem-solving procedure and reasoning of each step; the 2nd and 3rd columns show how to implement the steps with examples.
• The Solution Map is a visual aid that helps students navigate problems.
• For More Practice in each worked Example directs students to opportunities to practice skills from the Example.
• Multipart images depicted through macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic perspectives help students better visualise and understand chemistry.
• Molecular-level views reveal connections between everyday processes and the activities of atoms and molecules.

New to this edition

• Self-Assessment Quizzes help students check their understanding of the material in the chapter and better prepare for exams. Quizzes are located at the end of each chapter.
• Predict feature asks students to predict the outcome of the topic they are about to read. After the student reads the section, Predict Follow-up confirms whether the student predicted correctly or incorrectly and why.
