Russo and Silver turn chemistry into a memorable story that provides the quantitative rigor and conceptual understanding students need to master key concepts. As they read, students make the connections between concepts and problem-solving techniques. The text weaves interesting applications and well-designed illustrations into the narrative to get and hold student attention, and builds student confidence with integrated learning activities.

In the new edition students will find enhanced support for quantitative problem-solving and more challenging questions at the end of each chapter, in addition to the wealth of technology-based support on The Chemistry Place…–, Special Edition and on The Chemistry of Life CD-ROM.

Russo & Silver, Introductory Chemistry, 3/E

NEW! Chapter 8 on Stoichiometry.

NEW! Chapter 11 on Gases.

NEW! End-of-Chapter Problems. Over 500 new problems and a new section of additional problems that synthesizes material across chapters.

NEW! Student Workbook features additional worked examples for each chapter and additional problems for student practice.

NEW! “Skills to Know” feature summarizes the quantitative and problem-solving skills covered in each chapter. Includes worked examples.

NEW MEDIA! Animations for instructors on the Benjamin Cummings Digital Library.

NEW! Increased coverage of reactions includes new sections on type of reactions, precipitations, and net iconic reactions (including solubility rules), and an introduction to acid-base reactions.

NEW! Increased coverage of quantitative topics including measuring heat, equilibrium calculations using K, and simple titration calculations.

NEW! Solubility table now included in the Solutions chapter.

NEW! Elementary titrations and the corresponding calculations included in Electrolytes, Acids and Bases chapter.

NEW! Colligative properties and solution stoichiometry now included in Phases of Matter chapter.

NEW! Heterogeneous Equilibira, Solubility and Ksp's (including solubility calculations) included in the Equilibrium chapter.

EXPANDED! Increased discussion of nomenclature, including nomenclature of acids.

NEW! Selected solutions at end of text.

The text focuses students on comprehension of the core concepts as the basis for solving quantitative and qualitative problems and frees students from dependence on rote mathematical manipulation.

WorkPatches and Practice Problems break students out of passive learning. Built into the narrative, WorkPatches require students to practice their understanding of key concepts, for example drawing a picture of what is happening on the molecular level. Practice Problems strengthen students' grasp of mathematical and problem-solving skills before they continue to new material.

Abundant atomic and molecular depictions embedded into the narrative help students visualize concepts.

Applications are woven directly into the text's conversational narrative, to evoke powerful images in the students' minds and help them grasp and retain concepts. Examples from such areas as nutrition, the atmosphere, DNA modification, and corrosion, show that chemistry is a fascinating science.

A complete, text-specific web site and two CD-ROMs enhance learning in and outside the classroom. The Chemistry Place, Special Edition, offers tutorials, tools, quizzing, and animations for students and course management capabilities for instructors. The Chemistry of Life for Introductory Chemistry CD-ROM helps students master crucial chemical concepts. The Benjamin Cummings Digital Library for Introductory Chemistry provides figures from the text and additional animations for instruction.

Organic and biological examples important to allied health and life science students are used throughout.

Introductory Chemistry, Third Edition helps students master the quantitative skills and conceptual understanding they need to gain a deep understanding of chemistry. Unlike other books on the market that emphasize rote memory of problem-solving algorithms, Introductory Chemistry takes a conceptual approach with the idea that focusing on the concepts behind chemical equations helps students become more proficient problem solvers.

The Third Edition retains the engaging narrative and stunning illustrations that have made Russo/Silver so popular with students, while adding a powerful new media package and expanded problem-solving pedagogy designed to help students master the material. An Audible™ MP3 workbook allows busy students to study on the go, interactive “clicker” questions written specifically for the Third Edition enable faculty to quiz and test students during lecture, and InterAct Math exercises on the text-specific website help students get up to speed on important quantitative topics. New end-of-chapter visualization and group problems foster student understanding and collaboration, while hundreds of new worked examples and problems provide students more practice opportunity than ever before.
