Summary

This loose-leaf, three-hole punched version of the textbook gives students the flexibility to take only what they need to class and add their own notes — all at an affordable price.

DIGITAL UPDATE available for Fall 2020 classes

The Pearson eText and Mastering^™ have been updated to provide new author-written content that focuses students on understanding nomenclature, mechanisms, and reaction summaries.

 

For courses in Organic Chemistry (2 - Semester).

Engage students in complex problem solving with unparalleled pedagogy

Wade & Simek’s Organic Chemistry focuses students on the fundamental reasoning and principles of organic chemistry without compromising the conceptual underpinnings and clear explanations needed to prevent memorization. The authors’ hallmark student-oriented approach to problem-solving directs students to the individual steps of each reaction, shows how the steps contribute to the overall reaction, and incorporates unique strategies and hints. Organized around functional groups, the text incorporates complete discussions of mechanisms. The two-tiered approach to Mechanism and Key Mechanism Boxes concentrates on 20 Key Mechanisms that comprise nearly all of the mechanisms students will encounter.

Personalize learning with Mastering Chemistry 

By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Mastering Chemistry provides an extension of learning, allowing students a platform to practice, learn, and apply knowledge outside of the classroom.
