Summary

Laboratory Manual for  Chemistry: Structure and Properties, 2nd Edition is authored by Daphne Norton from the University of Georgia. Written to correspond with teaching using an atoms-first approach, this author emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills while fostering student engagement in real world applications. Students will be exposed to recent advances in science by presenting labs in an investigative context. Emphasis is placed on data collection and analysis versus mere step-by-step instruction.

Author Biography

About our author

Nivaldo Tro has been teaching college Chemistry since 1990 and is currently teaching at Santa Barbara Community College. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University for work on developing and using optical techniques to study the adsorption and desorption of molecules to and from surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. He then went on to the University of California at Berkeley, where he did postdoctoral research on ultrafast reaction dynamics in solution. Professor Tro has been awarded grants from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund, the Research Corporation, and the National Science Foundation to study the dynamics of various processes occurring in thin adlayer films adsorbed on dielectric surfaces. Professor Tro lives in Santa Barbara with his wife, Ann, and their four children, Michael, Ali, Kyle, and Kaden. In his leisure time, Professor Tro enjoys mountain biking, surfing, and being outdoors with his family.
