Open Tro to See The Difference from other Intro/Prep Chemistry books. The innovative problem-solving pedagogy (eg., multi-column worked examples), relevant molecular art, and outstanding media program (including PH GradeAssist, our customizable online homework system) drove Tro to the number 2 spot in the market in only its first edition. The organization allows optimum flexibility for instructors on topics such as electronic structure and chemical bonding.

I. Improving Conceptual Understanding

NEW! Conceptual Checkpoints - These strategically located conceptual questions enhance understanding of chemical principles, encourage students to stop and think about the ideas just presented, and provide a tool for self-assessment. Answers and explanations are given at the end of each chapter. See page 159.

II. Developing Problem-Solving Skills

Solution Maps - Many of the Examples employ a unique visual approach in which students are shown how to draw a solution map for the problem. They are taught to outline the steps, using conversion factors and equations, needed to get from thegiven to the unknown.
- This helps students to better understand how to solve this type of problem.
NEW AND UNIQUE! Two-Column Examples - All but the simplest Examples are presented in a unique two-column format. The left column explains each step, while the rightcolumn shows how the step is executed. See page 165.
- This format encourages students tothink about the reason for each step in the solution and to fit the steps together in the context of an overall plan.
Skillbuilder Exercises - Every worked Example is followed by at least one similar, but unworked, Skillbuilder problem.
- This allows students to immediately test themselves on the problem-solving techniques just learned.
NEW AND UNIQUE! Three-Column Problem-Solving Procedures - Numerous and specific procedures for solving particular types of problems are presented in a unique three-column format. The first column outlines the problem-solving procedure and explains the reasoning that underlies each step. The second and thirdcolumns show how the steps are implemented for two typical Examples. See page 172.

III. Visualization: Connecting the Macroscopic and Microscopic Worlds

Two-part visual images - These illustrated concepts show a photograph of a real-world object or process, and (either superimposed or shown as a magnified breakout) a depiction of what is taking place on the molecular level. See pages 50-59.
- This helps students develop an understanding of molecular chemistry.
Molecular illustrations - Many molecular formulas in the text are depicted not only with structural formulas, but also with space-filling drawings of the molecules for greater clarity and vividness. In addition, micro/macro illustrations are included. See pages 50-59.
- Students gain greater insight into microscopic processes and make connections to their macroscopic counterparts.

IV. Creating Interest in Chemistry

Chapter Openers - Every chapter opens with a description of an everyday situation or practical application that clearly demonstrates the importance of the material covered in that chapter. See page 50.
- They often depict the chemical nature of the situation. These openers often involve topics that are particularly relevant to the lives of students, such as health, consumer, environmental, or societal issues.
Interest Boxes - The text includes four types of interest boxes: Everyday Chemistry,Chemistry in the Media, Chemistry in the Environment, and Chemistry and Health.
- These all help demonstrate the excitement and relevance of chemistry.

V. Review and Assessment

UNIQUE! Chapter in Review - Each chapter ends with a review consisting of two sections, the first focusing on chemical principles and the second on chemical skills. Each section is itself divided into two columns. See pages 175-180.
- In the Chemical Principles section, one column summarizes the key principles while the other tells why each is important.
- In the Chemical Skills section, one column describes the key skills while the other contains a worked Example illustrating each skill.
- This unique treatment reviews all important aspects of the concepts and skills covered in the chapter.
MORE Student Exercises - All chapters contain exercises divided into four types: questions, problems, cumulative problems, and highlight problems. In this edition, Tro has included over 200 new exercises at the request of our adopters and reviewers.

Brief Description

Are you interested in a version of the book at half the price? Consider our WebBook.

Everything that is in the print book will be in the WebBook and more. This includes:

1. Where the print book has media icons, students can click live on the movies, animations, 3-D molecular models, and activities.

2. Clicking on a glossary term in the text pops up the definition.

3. Where the print book has "chain-link" cross-references, the WebBook has links that work.

4. Search engine for any term in the book (replaces the index).

5. Students can put bookmarks anywhere in the book.

6. Students can highlight and, unlike a print book, remove highlights

7. Students can add annotations in the margins, just like a print book, and can remove them or edit them later.

8. There is a diagnostic quiz at the beginning of every chapter, which students can take at any time. The results of that quiz create a "Custom Study Plan" which highlights the sections that the students apparently need to restudy.

The student can purchase the WebBook online and can access it from any computer with an internet connection. They do not need to carry around anything or install the product. And, if they have a dialup connection, they'll find that the Accelerator CD that comes in the MediaPak will speed the loading of the media elements.

The price will be 50% of the list price of the book.

This package contains:
• Tro, CW + GradeTracker Access Code Card, 2/E (2006)
• Tro, Introductory Chemistry, 2/E (2006)
