Description

Features

• A clear writing style connects chemistry to the real world, addresses a variety of learning styles, and makes chemistry accessible to students with little or no background.
• Sample Problems with Study Checks appear throughout each section, giving students an opportunity for immediate practice.
• A step-by-step approach breaks down problems into easy to follow steps.
• Questions and Problems follow every section for immediate reinforcement of concepts just discussed.
• Paired problems within a chapter and at the end of a chapter are highlighted with alternating colors.
• Health Notes apply chemical concepts to real-life issues and relevant topics in health and medicine.
• Environmental Notes cover issues such as global warming, radon, ozone depletion, and acid rain, tying chemistry to the real world.
• Career Focus chapter openers begin with interviews of people in different chemistry-related fields. The career connections continue in the examples in the text and problems, the Career Focus boxed feature, and on the web. The Career Focus feature makes relevant links between the students' chemistry course and their future career.
• Media icons in the margins direct students to tutorials and case studies on The ChemistryPlace™ Website for General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, Second Edition.
• A media grid in front of the book correlates the media with the book.

New To This Edition

• More emphasis on conceptual understanding:
  • Concept Maps summarize chapter topics to give students an overview of core concepts and how they are related.
  • Understanding the Concept questions at the end of each chapter tests students’ conceptual understanding of the material. 
• Enhanced problem-solving strategy:
• Guide to Problem Solving guidelines provide students with color-coded flow charts, coordinated with the worked examples, that help them become proficient problem solvers.
• Visual solution pathways give students color blocks to help them follow the logical structure to problem solutions.
• More quantitative coverage in the general chemistry section, as well as more math problems throughout the book, emphasizes quantitative reasoning and reinforces problem-solving skills.
• Challenge Questions aimed toward teamwork at the end of every chapter, designed to be solved in groups, help instructors establish a collaborative learning environment in the class.
• Answers now included at end of each chapter instead of in the appendix to let students check their work more quickly.
• New Chapter 9 on Chemical Equilibrium gives students a deeper understanding of this important topic.
• In MasteringGOBChemistry™, students have access to a wealth of self-study media such as interactive activities and targeted self-assessment aids, including quizzes, review questions, flashcards and real-world case studies. This groundbreaking online homework and tutorial system is packaged with every new copy of the text.

  Basic Chemistry gives students the problem-solving tools and techniques they need to succeed in future chemistry
  courses and in the work force. In the clear, approachable writing style characteristic of her texts, Karen Timberlake
  continues to make chemistry relevant and engaging. Her unique “Guide to Problem-Solving” strategy provides a visual,
  step-by-step plan that helps students solve a wide variety of problems. Sample and practice problems throughout each
  chapter allow students of various levels and learning styles to practice and master quantitative skills.
  Real-world applications cover modern, interesting topics in helping students connect chemical principles to events in their
  world, while interviews with engineers, doctors, veterinarians, and biochemists show students the importance of
  chemistry in future careers. Along with a host of in-text enhancements, the Third Edition can now be packaged with
  MasteringChemistry®—the most advanced chemistry homework and tutorial system available.

General, Organic and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life with Student Access Kit for MasteringGOBChemistry?



MasteringChemistry^TM is not only an online homework system that tracks multiple parts of a single problem, it is also a tutoring system relying on the Socratic method of presenting students with simpler sub-questions to help guide them back on the right track. Furthermore, the system responds to common wrong answers with specific feedback, rather than one generic ?catch-all? response. The tutorial content is tested by thousands of students. During testing, we capture all student answer submissions and write/rewrite hints and feedback for their most common actual wrong answers. As a result, MasteringChemistry addresses not just where Chemistry instructors expect students to go wrong, but where they actually do go wrong. Our standard is that the tutorials guide at least 85% of students to the final, correct answer. We modify the hints and feedback until we achieve that goal, and we revisit the students? results regularly to ensure that we maintain it.
