This book represents the next step in general chemistry texts, with an emphasis
on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach that
helps readers discover the exciting potential of chemical science.
The book features modern applications, early integration of examples from
organic and biochemistry, and a strong approach to problem solving that moves
away from
rote memorization to a thorough understanding of key concepts and recognition of
important patterns. The worked examples throughout each chapter show readers how
to develop strategies and thought processes that will enable them to solve
problems both quantitatively and conceptually. Kinetics and Equilibria, Chemical
Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, Aqueous Acid-Base Equilibria, Solubility
Equilibria, Chemical Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, Nuclear Chemistry,
Chemistry of the Elements, General Trends and the s-Block Elements, The
p-Block Elements, The d- and f-Block Elements, Organic Compounds. For all readers
interested in a general chemistry text with an emphasis on contemporary
applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach.
