Chemistry is widely considered to be the central science: it encompasses concepts on which all other branches of science are developed. Yet, for many students entering college, gaining a firm grounding in chemistry is a real challenge. Chemistry3 responds to this challenge, providing students with a full understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry on which to build later studies. Unique among the introductory chemistry texts currently available, Chemistry3 is written by a team of chemists to give equal coverage of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry coverage that is uniformly authoritative. The approach to organic chemistry is mechanistic, rather than the old fashioned 'functional group' approach, to help students achieve a fuller understanding of the underlying principles. The expertise of the author team is completed by two specialists in chemistry education, who bring to the book a wealth of experience of teaching chemistry in a way that students enjoy and understand. The result is a text that builds on what students know already from school and tackles their misunderstandings and misconceptions, thereby providing a seamless transition from school to undergraduate study. The authors achieve unrivalled accessibility through the provision of carefully worded explanations and reminders of students' existing knowledge; the introduction of concepts in a logical and progressive manner; and the use of annotated diagrams and step by step worked examples. Students are encouraged to engage with the text and appreciate the central role that chemistry plays in our lives through the unique use of real world context and photographs. Chemistry3 tackles head on two issues pervading chemistry education: the students' mathematical skills, and their ability to see the subject as a single, unified discipline. Instead of avoiding math, Chemistry3 provides structured support, in the form of careful explanations, reminders of key mathematical concepts, step by step calculations in worked examples, and a Math Toolkit, to help students get to grips with the essential mathematical element of chemistry. Frequent cross references highlight the connections between each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship between the topics, so students can develop an understanding of the subject as a whole.

Andrew Burrows is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Bath. He completed his first degree and doctorate at the University of Oxford and worked in Strasbourg and Imperial College London before moving to Bath, where he is currently Head of Department. He has taught many aspects of inorganic chemistry, though his current courses focus on s- and d-block chemistry. His research interests are in porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks and he has published over 160 papers.\nJohn Holman is Emeritus Professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of York, Past-President of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2016-2018), and Senior Adviser in Education at the Gatsby Foundation. He was the Founding Director of the National Science Learning Centre from 2004 until September 2010, and adviser to the English government as National Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Director from 2006 until September 2010. He has taught learners of chemistry at both school and undergraduate level, has created curricula and written books for science learners up to and including undergraduates, and was the founding director of the Salters Advanced Chemistry programme. In 2014 he was named by the Science Council as one of the 100 leading practising and inspirational UK scientists and in the same year won the Royal Society of Chemistry's Lord Lewis Award and the Royal Society's Kavli Education Award. In 2010 he was knighted by the Queen for services to education.\nSimon Lancaster has taught Chemistry at the University of East Anglia since his appointment as a lecturer in 2000. He won a National Teaching Fellowship and an RSC Higher Education Teaching Award in 2013 for 'blurring the boundaries between the internet and the lecture theatre'. Simon was promoted to a chair in Chemistry Education in 2014. He was selected as one of RSC's 175 face of diversity in 2016 and championed inclusion and diversity as President of the Education Division Council from 2017-2020. He is a passionate advocate for active learning, in demand as a keynote speaker well beyond the chemistry arena. He has led UEA's chemistry provision as Director of Learning and Teaching since 2015 and has accelerated their implementation of blended learning in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.\nTina Overton has been Professor of Chemistry Education at the University of Hull and Monash University and was Director of the University of Leeds Institute for Teaching Excellence. She has published widely in chemistry education and science education research and is the author of several textbooks. Tina has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry's Higher Education Teaching Award, Tertiary Education Award, and Nyholm Prize, and the Royal Australian Chemistry Institute's Fensham Medal. She is a National Teaching Fellow and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.\nGwen Pilling is a former Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and member of the Science Education Group at the University of York, with experience of teaching chemistry at both secondary school and undergraduate level. She was Director of the Salters Advanced Chemistry Project and Chief Examiner for the OCR Chemistry AS and A Level Examinations from 1992 to 2002. Her main areas of interests were curriculum development in chemistry in the post-16 school age group, supporting teachers through curriculum change, the interface between secondary and tertiary education, and c

Unique among introductory chemistry texts, Chemistry³, Second Edition, is written by a team of chemists to give equal coverage of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry--coverage that is uniformly authoritative throughout. A special feature is the mechanistic approach to organic chemistry, rather than the old-fashioned "functional group" approach. Chemistry³ tackles two issues pervading chemistry education: students' mathematical skills, and their ability to see the subject as a single, unified discipline. It provides structured support, in the form of careful explanations, reminders of key mathematical concepts, step-by-step calculations in worked examples, and a Maths Toolkit, to help students get to grips with the essential mathematical element of chemistry. Frequent cross-references highlight the connections between each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship between the topics so that students can develop an understanding of the subject as a whole. An accompanying Companion Website (www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199691852) offers a variety of resources: For students: - Interactive and animation-based activities - Fully worked answers to many questions from the book - 3D rotatable molecular structures - Interactive 3D animations of key reactions - Videos - Links to relevant video content - Learning outcomes, summaries, and key equations for each chapter - A "Transition to Chemistry" site For instructors (registered adopters of the book) - A test bank of multiple-choice questions - Downloadable illustrations from the book

Chemistry³: Introducing Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry

Each student textbook is divided into different topics, written in a narrative approach, providing scientific accuracy and clarity in a highly accessible style. A number of case studies are included to cover the Sc1 Scientific Enquiry on the history of science and science in evidence. Additional revision material is introduced, with questions in an exam-style format linked to a variety of awarding bodies. This book reinforces students' learning through practical work and case studies. An innovative range of investigations for Sc1 provides students and teacher briefs, which allow access to higher levels. Makes science accessible to all students with activities and case studies related to the skills and processes defined in Sc1. The book covers the core Key Skills of Communication, Application of Number and ICT. Channel 4 are producing a series of television programmes linked to this brand new series, for early 2002. Comprehensive additional support is offered on our website. This will include additional extension materials, as well as useful links to other relevant websites.
