For courses in Chemistry. This package includes MasteringChemistry(TM). Building 21st Century Data Analysis and Problem-Solving Skills in Modern Chemistry The Fourth Edition of Niva Tro's Chemistry: A Molecular Approach reinforces students' development of 21st century skills including data interpretation and analysis, problem solving and quantitative reasoning, applying conceptual understanding to new situations and peer-to-peer collaboration. Nivaldo Tro presents chemistry visually through multi-level images-macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations-helping students see the connections between the world they see around them (macroscopic), the atoms and molecules that compose the world (molecular), and the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic). The benefits of Dr. Tro's problem-solving approach are reinforced through digital, Interactive Worked Examples that provide students with an office-hour type of environment and expanded coverage on the latest developments in chemistry. New Key Concept Videos explain difficult concepts while new end-of-chapter problems including Group Work questions and Data Interpretation and Analysis questions engage students in applying their understanding of chemistry. The revision has been constructed to easily incorporate material for instructors and students to engage in Before, During, and After class activities. This package includes MasteringChemistry, 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(TM). 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. MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

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   Chemistry: A Molecular Approach uses the following features to facilitate learning:   Tro’s captivating writing style captures student attention and teaches students core concepts through accessible language.   UPDATED! Tools for active learning have been enhanced throughout the book, allowing students to dive into the material in an engaging and effective way.   Discussion of topics such as derivation of ideal gas laws from non-molecular energy, molecular orbital theory, and simplifying assumptions in equilibrium calculations ease students into major chemistry concepts.   A clear, student-focused text relates core chemistry topics to the real world and potential careers.   NEW! Solids and Modern Materials Chapter covers current topics in this specialized field of chemistry. An advisory board of Material Chemists consulted with Tro to provide professional insight into chapter discussions.   Tro discusses topics that make chemistry relevant to students’ lives, such as its relation to food and the environment.   Opening sections of each chapter relate the key topic to a relevant theme of real-world importance.   NEW! 21st century skills reinforced and developed through end-of-chapter problems.   Data Interpretation and Analysis Problems help students build skills in analyzing and interpreting data. Today’s students can access huge amounts of data all the time, but can they understand, interpret, and draw meaningful conclusions from it? A new category of questions called Data Interpretation and Analysis questions use real data from real life situations to ask students to analyze that data, providing practice in reading graphs, digesting tables, and making data-driven decisions. These are also assignable in MasteringChemistry.   Questions for Group Work encourage development of the ability to work well in groups. These questions give students the opportunity to work with their peers in small groups in or out of the classroom. The goal is to foster collaborative learning and to give students the opportunity to work together as a team to solve problems.   Encourage students to apply problems in relevant contexts through critical thinking rather than just memorize formulas.   NEW! Twice as many MasteringChemistry end-of-chapter questions with wrong answer specific feedback appear in each chapter of this edition compared to the previous, giving students more opportunities to exercise critical thinking and make learning gains while practicing problem solving.   Tro’s four-step approach to problem solving encourages students to think through the solution logically.   Two- and three-column example formats help students break down the steps of each problem. The left column is what a professor would say when solving a problem. The right column is what a professor would write when solving a problem.   Conceptual Connection problems encourage students to develop conceptual understanding instead of memorizing mathematical operations.   Images reinforce and enliven core concepts. NEW! Chapter design has been modified to create a more visually appealing experience for the student

These short videos include narration and brief live action clips of author Niva Tro explaining the key concepts of each chapter.   66 Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers. Topics include key math skills, general chemistry skills such as nuclear chemistry, phases of matter, redox reactions, acids and bases, and organic and biochemistry skills.   61 Interactive Worked Examples for a total of 101 make Tro’s unique problem-solving strategies engaging by bringing his award-winning teaching directly to all students using his text. These digital versions instruct students on breaking down problems using Tro’s proven “Sort, Strategize, Solve, and Check” technique.   Chemistry Primer is a series of tutorials focused on remediating students in preparation for their first college chemistry course. Diagnostic Pre-built Assignment that helps students get up to speed at the beginning of the course Covers math in the context of chemistry, basic ch
