A text for mastering the concepts of general chemistry
Students who use Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, Seventh Edition as a text are suppled with the instruction, practice and assessment they need to progress in a general chemistry course. This text supports students' efforts to analyze, solve problems and master the concepts related to chemical phenomena. The edition features updates to key concepts and additional multi-concept problems and examples. The author also focuses on the relationship between structure at the submicroscopic molecular level and the observable macroscopic properties of matter. For readers, this textbook serves as a concise and easily understood chemistry resource.
Neil D. Jespersen is a Professor of Chemistry at St. John’s University in New York. He earned a B.S. with Special Attainments in Chemistry at Washington and Lee University(VA), and his Ph.D. at Pennsylvania State University, specializing in Analytical Chemistry. He has received awards for excellence in teaching and research from St. John’s University, where he chaired the Department of Chemistry for 6 years. He mentored the St. John’s student ACS chapter for over 30 years while continuing to teach Quantitative and Instrumental Analysis courses, along with General Chemistry. He has been an active contributor to the Eastern Analytical Symposium, chairing it in 1991.
