New and Updated - Worked Examples provide more than any other text on the market and are tightly integrated into the text’s flow and concise narrative. Select Worked Examples include videos of author Jill Robinson showing students how to work through the examples. Updated - End-of-Chapter Problems have been reviewed and analysed by author Jill Robinson for accuracy and to ensure each problem is tied to a learning objective in the end-of-chapter Study Guide. All End-of-Chapter problems now tie to specific examples throughout the text, supporting the intuitive flow of material. Extension of Conceptual Worked Examples help students move away from memorisation as a primary problem-solving method by explicitly showing them the relationship between similar but related concepts and procedures while facilitating their ability to recognise and respond to these challenges. In-chapter Conceptual Worked Examples give students their first exposure to working through problems to develop an understanding of the chapter’s concepts. Many of the worked examples include a step called conceptual apply. In-chapter Conceptual Problems give students an immediate opportunity to solve problems that test their understanding of chemical concepts. End-of-chapter Conceptual Problems give students an opportunity to test that they understand all the major concepts in the chapter before moving on to the multi-concept problems that require this understanding.

Facilitate active learning and engage students in learning chemistr Newly Interactive - Figure It Out questions provide new interactivity within the eText so students can test themselves at the point of learning and receive instant, answer-specific feedback written by author Jill Robinson. Questions appear with select figures and encourage students to look at each illustration more carefully and recognize general lessons offered in the figure. Practice Tests provide assessment for chapter learning objectives and additional instruction in concepts and problem-solving skills in the printed text as well as in the eText and Mastering Chemistry. When students miss a problem, they are instructed to consult the study guide for additional instruction and practice problems. When a student answers incorrectly in Pearson MasteringChemistry or the eText, their practice exam automatically links to worked examples and additional practice problems. Updated - Inquiry sections highlight the importance of chemistry, promote student interest, and deepen student understanding of the content by showcasing problems that revisit several chapter concepts. These problems can be covered in class, recitation sections, or assigned as homework in Mastering Chemistry.   Build problem-solving skills and help students develop critical thinking New and Updated - Worked Examples provide more than any other text on the market and are tightly integrated into the text’s flow and concise narrative. Select Worked Examples include videos of author Jill Robinson showing students how to work through the examples. Newly interactive Practice and Apply problems accompany each Worked Example in the eText and are assignable in Mastering Chemistry. 49 Problem-Solving Videos (at least two per chapter) help students see every step of the problem-solving process and feature Jill Robinson working out problems in the text. These dynamic videos are provided in Mastering Chemistry, referenced in the print text, and are also embedded in the eText. Updated - End-of-Chapter Problems have been reviewed and analyzed by author Jill Robinson for accuracy and to ensure each problem is tied to a learning objective in the end-of-chapter Study Guide. All End-of-Chapter problems now tie to specific examples throughout the text, supporting the intuitive flow of material.     Mastering™ Chemistry is not included. Students, if Pearson MasteringChemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. Pearson MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information. Reach every student with Mastering Ready-to-Go Study Tools in the Pearson MasteringChemistry Study Area help students master the toughest topics (as identified by professors and fellow students completing homework and practicing for exams). Problem-solving videos, practice tests, and problem sets with answer-specific feedback are all in one easy to navigate place to keep students focused and give them the scaffolded support they need to succeed. Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience available within Mastering. It allows students to easily highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place–even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media include newly interactive Big Idea questions and Figure It Out questions, Problem Solving Videos, and Practice Tests– all designed to engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Conceptual and numerical problems link students to relevant wo
