Summary

This best-selling text motivates students and maintains their interest in the material by connecting chemistry to real-life experiences and emphasizing visual learning with figures that illustrate concepts and photos that depict chemical phenomena. Introductory Chemistryhelps students develop the problem-solving skills critical to success in chemistry by teaching a thoughtful, step-by-step approach to solving problems that starts with representing the essence of problems using symbols or diagrams and ends with thinking about whether an answer makes sense. The Instructor Toolkit is a comprehensive and coordinated supplement package that helps instructors prepare for class. It contains the Instructor's Annotated Edition, Complete Solutions Guide, and a CD-ROM package featuring the HM ClassPrep, HM Testing, Chemistry Animations and Videos CD-ROMs, and the Student Support Package. A comprehensive Student Support Package, automatically included with every new student text, features numerous resources to help students succeed in their courses. A two-sided Study Card with chemical formulas and reminders serves as a quick study aid. The password-protected Student Web Site features ACE self-quizzes, interactive molecules, and flashcards of key terms. A CD-ROM features a review of the prerequisite mathematics relevant to this course. SMARTHINKING online tutoring provides free live and asynchronous study help to students.
