Study Guide to Chemistry : Science of Change

The organization of the text treats chemistry as an experimental subject by beginning with observable, macroscopic chemistry and later moving to the quantum mechanical theory that provides the underpinning of modern chemistry. Features: * The text emphasises the applications of chemistry to situations in everyday life, and on organic chemistry examples where appropriate. * End-of-chapter problems test students on the boxed topics as well as on the rest of the text. * Macroscopic before Microscopic material explains the observables of chemistry before giving theoretical underpinnings. New to this edition: * Cumulative Problems require students to assimilate and apply concepts. * "Chemistry in Your Life" essays show the relevance of studying chemistry to everyday events. * New molecular art improves the three-dimensional effect.
