This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. About the Book NEW! Chapters now have a more focused roadmap that begins with specific learning objectives and ends with a summary study guide that revisits these initial goals and offers students targeted problems designed to help them assess their ability to understand those topics.NEW! Clinical examples provide a stronger clinical focus and more relevance to allied health majors in all of the chapter openers. Many of the Chemistry in Action boxes and end-of-chapter problems have been rewritten to provide a more clinical focus and relevance to allied health majors. A fundamental problem-solving approach allows students to think strategically about core concepts Worked Examples offer students critical thinking strategies for problem types presented in the text. These are accompanied by an analysis, which carefully describes the best approach for solving problems of each kind. Ballpark estimates give students a general idea of which relationships are needed to solve the problem when appropriate. This is often compared to the problem solution to show how and why it was a logical estimate.Solutions present the worked out examples using the strategy proposed by the analysis, often followed by a discussion to increase student understanding.Key Concept Problems integrated throughout the chapter and Understanding Key Concepts at the end of each chapter allow students to assess their understanding of the material. Often accompanied by molecular-level art or graphics, they engage students by helping them apply what they’ve learned in each chapter.Comprehensive Problems within each chapter follow worked examples helping students get a better idea of their skill, knowledge and comprehension of important topics throughout the chapter.End of Chapter Problems tie back to chapter goals, allowing students to test their knowledge of emphasized topics.NEW! Group Problems at the end of every chapter are ideally used in class to get students to a higher-level of thinking, such as how concepts fit together, or how to put the concepts they have learned to use in a clinical application. Enhanced pedagogy engages students in complex material Color-keyed and Labeled Equations draw students’ attention to complicated chemical equations, often glossed over when reading the text, causing them to focus on and understand these fundamental elements.Chemistry in Action boxes extend the discussion of major chapter topics in new ways, providing students with enhanced perspective on core concepts.Mastering Reactions boxes discuss how important organic transformations occur—specifically addition reactions, elimination reactions, and carbonyl additions—allowing students to begin exploring the concept of mechanisms in organic chemistry.NEW! Hands on Chemistry boxes offer students an opportunity to solidify their understanding of chemistry through elementary experiments that can be safely done in their living spaces with household items. Students who learn from kinesthetic activities will benefit from the hands-on aspect of the experiments. MasteringChemistryTM not included. Students, if MasteringChemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pear

MasteringChemistry is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and they encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning CatalyticsTM. Before Class Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Students complete a subset of questions, indicating their confidence level for each answer. At the end of this and each subsequent subset, students are given explanations for any problems they missed as well as coaching that moves them toward conceptual understanding. This recursive process continues until students answer all questions in the module correctly and confidently. Dynamic Study Modules are available as graded assignments prior to class, and are accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.Pearson eText 2.0 features include: Now available on smartphones and tablets.Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media.Accessible (screen-reader ready).Configurable reading settings, including resizable type and night reading mode.Instructor and student note taking, highlighting, bookmarking, and search.Chemistry Primer Diagnostic Pre-built Assignment that helps students get up to speed at the beginning of the courseCovers math in the context of chemistry, basic chemical literacy, balancing chemical equations, mole theory and stoichiometryScales to students’ needs — remediation only suggested to students that perform poorly on initial assessmentRemediation involves Wrong-Answer Specific Feedback, Video Instruction and Step-wise Scaffolding to build up students’ abilitiesVideo Tutor Solutions in each chapter present a narrated example of how to work the most challenging problems as well as additional instruction from contributor Sara Madsen, who walks students through challenging worked examples and offers them additional guidance on how to approach these difficult problems and concepts. These videos help students approach the most difficult ideas in the course and then test themselves with follow-up problems to assess their understanding. During Class Learning CatalyticsTM helps instructors generate class discussion, guides their lecture, and promotes peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics.
