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.  The text and the technology assets of MasteringChemistry® are designed to work in tandem, to create a seamless learning suite to supporting student learning before, during and after class.   Superior support beyond the classroom with MasteringChemistry MasteringChemistry from Pearson is the leading 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 encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics. Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. The Mastering gradebook records scores for all automatically graded assignments in one place, while diagnostic tools give instructors access to rich data to assess student understanding and misconceptions.   Mastering brings learning full circle by continuously adapting to each student and making learning more personal than ever–before, during, and after class. Before Class Reading Quiz questions can be assigned in MasteringChemistry, immersing students in the text prior to class and improving their comprehension of chapter content so you can focus on the toughest topics in class. During Class NEW! Learning Catalytics™ is an interactive, classroom tool that uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more sophisticated tasks and thinking. Now included with Mastering with eText, Learning Catalytics enables you to generate classroom discussion, guide your lecture, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Instructors, you can: Pose a variety of open-ended questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills Monitor responses to find out where students are struggling Use real-time data to adjust your instructional strategy and try other ways of engaging your students during class Manage student interactions by automatically grouping students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning After Class Tutorials, featuring specific wrong-answer feedback, hints, and a wide variety of educationally effective content guide your students through the toughest topics in chemistry. The hallmark Hints and Feedback offer instruction similar to what students would experience in an office hour, allowing them to learn from their mistakes without being given the answer. The Pearson eText gives students access to their textbook anytime, anywhere. In addition to note taking, highlighting, and bookmarking, the Pearson eText offers interactive and sharing features. Rich media options let students watch lecture and example videos as they read or do their homework. Instructors can share their comments or highlights, and students can add their own, creating a tight community of learners in your class. The Pearson eText companion app allows existing subscribers to access their titles on an iPad or Android tablet for either online or offline viewing. NEW! MasteringChemistry activities are integrated throughout. Inquiry Activities from the text are integrated into Mastering as gradable items. Video Tutor Solutions walk

Adaptive Follow-Up Assignments allow instructors to deliver content to students–automatically personalized for each individual based on the strengths and weaknesses identified by his or her performance on initial Mastering assignments. NEW! Interactive Simulations cover some of the most difficult chemistry concepts and are assignable. Written by leading authors in simulation development, these increase students’ understanding of chemistry and clearly illustrate cause-and-effect relationships. About the Text   Keep your course current and relevant REVISED! Inquiry Sections now include worked examples and/or practice problems enabling students to directly apply the concepts and skills they‘ve learned throughout the chapter to topics that connect the material to issues in their daily lives. REVISED! Table of Contents creates more uniform themes within chapters and a more coherent progression of concepts that build on one another. NEW! Chapter on Organic and Biological Chemistry introduces students to useful nomenclature and skills that must be mastered early in an organic chemistry course. In the new version of Chapter 23, students no longer movethrough rote descriptions of groups of organic compounds b
