Description
Succeed in chemistry with the clear explanations, problem-solving strategies, and dynamic study tools of CHEMISTRY & CHEMICAL REACTIVITY, 9e. Combining thorough instruction with the powerful multimedia tools you need to develop a deeper understanding of general chemistry concepts, the text emphasizes the visual nature of chemistry, illustrating the close interrelationship of the macroscopic, symbolic, and particulate levels of chemistry. The art program illustrates each of these levels in engaging detail--and is fully integrated with key media components. In addition access to OWLv2 may be purchased separately or at a special price if packaged with this text. OWLv2 is an online homework and tutorial system that helps you maximize your study time and improve your success in the course. OWLv2 includes an interactive eBook, as well as hundreds of guided simulations, animations, and video clips.

This color-illustrated, highly visual textbook for a first course in chemistry is designed for students who will major in the sciences; while the text assumes some background in algebra and general science, a previous course in chemistry is not required. The art program, redesigned for this ninth edition, offers color photos, images, illustrations, chemical process diagrams, and problem solving algorithms on every page. The text offers a problem-solving approach, with worked examples, detailed strategies for solutions, and visual strategy maps. Several boxes in each chapter look at chemistry in real life and profile pioneering scientists. Other learning features include review questions, case studies, a glossary, and 14 mathematical and reference appendices. In this ninth edition, chapter goals are now split into three categories: key concepts, calculations, and facts. This edition now contains a full chapter on biochemistry and a new chapter on environmental chemistry and sustainability. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
