Title overview

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 6th Edition, by Nivaldo Tro, presents chemistry visually, from the molecular level up, so you can connect what happens between atoms and molecules to what you observe in the lab. You’ll be able to see chemistry at the molecular, macroscopic, and symbolic levels and solve multi-concept problems with confidence.

Tro covers atoms and elements, stoichiometry, gases, thermochemistry, quantum theory, periodic properties, bonding, solutions, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. His consistent problem-solving approach (Sort, Strategize, Solve, and Check) throughout the textbook helps you learn to analyze a problem and devise a solution strategy. Conceptual Connections and Self-Assessment Quizzes give you study practice, helping to eliminate misconceptions and deepen your understanding of key topics.

The 6th Edition presents interactive digital features to guide you through key concepts and the problem-solving process. Updates reflect current research on the COVID-19 vaccine, include new and revised end-of-chapter questions.
